Light bulb on trunk lid
I have a light bulb that's out on my trunk lid, its one of the ones that's between the license plate on trunk lid.
Just wondering if someone knows how the replace this bulb? Is it from inside on trunk?
Any help will be great

What year is your C5? Those are your rear fog lights.
98-01 - only one of the rear fog lights (drivers side)
02-04 - both lights are supposed to be working.
Please don't be that guy driving with your rear fogs on in clear weather. It's like following someone with their brake lights stuck on.
One pull on the headlight switch turns on your front fogs, the 2nd pull is what turns on the rear fogs.
If you have an 02+ and one of the bulbs is indeed out:

Just follow those instructions until you have access to the back of the fog light panel.

Accessing the fog light assembly:
- First you must remove the sound proof carpeting housing that is on the inside of the trunk lid. It is secured by standard auto clips and four screws.
- Remove the first set of screws. These are located on emergency reflector assembly. Remove the emergency triangle and you will see two screws which fasten the reflector assembly to the trunk lid.
-Remove the second set of screws. These took me almost 30 minutes to find. These are located on the inside top of the inset trunk handle that you use to pull down the lid of the trunk with.
-Once these screw sets are removed the inside trunk cover just pops off. You should start on the drivers side and work all the way around to the other. You may also need to apply a little down pressure around the inset handle to free it from the trunk lid.
-You should now see the sheet metal and fog light assembly for the rear fog lights.
