Default Rear bumper lights

Hi does anyone know how the bulb is replaced? Does the whole red plastic piece have to come out or is it a case of reaching up behind the bumper and the bulb holder just twists out?
thanks

Wish you had been more specific. Let me try to help.
Reverse
Brake
Turn
Lights accessed through trunk. The bulbs are in a common pod that is released from the trunk side. I think the pod (light sockets soldered onto a circuit board, in a plastic housing) is secured with plastic tabs. Either way, its obvious when you look.

Side marker lights? Push the hole lens assembly forward and at the same time pry it out at the back.

the red lights in the bumper. If they are called the side marker lights then yes, thanks I will give that a try. Then the bulb is a twist out type?
