How in the world can you get to it. I tried the whole day with no success.

 

the rear sidemarker has it's own rubber grommet that is right behind the bulb
I can't remember off hand if you need to remove the trunk liner in that corner to get it off or not, but I think you can just unclip/unvelcro it where the side piece meets the rear piece and get enough clearance through there.

 

what rear marker...

 

I tried to take that rubber grommet off but it's a b***h to move. I try again tomorrow.

 

thats where it is behind the rubber thing.....lol it's hard but easier to put back one.

rymo.....i was asking that same question till i went searching and found an extra light i never knew i had..

 

just take out the whole taillight and your done. atleast thats what i did to get to the damn thing.

 

thats crazy man.......all you have to do is move the carpet and fine it...not removing the whole light....thats a waste of time

 

The carpet trim that covers the side marker bulb is velcro'd - pull it back to reveal the wiring & grommet.
The grommet is actually fitted to the outside of the tail light recess to keep water out (that part of the tail light isn't sealed), which is why it's easier to remove with the tail light removed.
Non-US max's don't have side markers fitted; just grommets and blanking on the tail light - I retro-fitted rear side markers on mine
