    I can't really help since my full size spare covers that entire area so I've never dug into it. I would find it hard to believe that any bulb would be inaccessable for replacement. If it's that hard to get to, I'd highly recommend that you find a LED replacement since they last 10 times longer.

    i have been trying to replace mine for a while now with LEDs.. there are screws above the rear license plate that hold the covers for those lights in place.. mine are rusted really badly, so they wont come out by traditional means

    Yes mines are rusted too

    I'll try to removed them carefully tomorrow with my 18V cordless drill & some WD-40

    It was the 1st thing I did when I got my VX home, both lights were out and the new bulbs were in the glove box, now I know why. I took the whole rear door apart (cladding and whatnot. to discover the whole bracket and light fixture rusted through. Its trash. Isuzuparts lists the bracket at about 25 bucks and the light fixutures were 15 a piece I think. Looks like I have a Lowes/pepboys project. No more isuzu rust pieces for me..

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Yesterday i tried to remove the bulb but wasn't successfull

    I'll use my dremel to create one threat over the screws & then use the the 18-V cordless drill to remove them

    Removing the cladding isn't a option for me right now with 15 degrees out there + snow
