Default Taillight bulb replacement...

First time for the rear lights.....do you have to remove the whole light housing unit to replace the bulbs? Or is there something I am missing?

yes you'll have to remove the whole tail light, there's 3 nuts to take off then it will almost fall out.

I read where someone scratched their bumper removing the assembly so when I did my sequentials I ran a couple pieces of blue painters tape on bumper to protect it. Just a thought.

Watch the paint.
The removal is tricky because of the studs used to mount it.
