May I?
Requires no tools and takes a few seconds.
Facing the back of your vehicle with your hatch open, place your thumb(s) or finger(s) against the left side edge of the the light you want to remove. Push to the left. As you feel it give, pull the light away from the hatch and it should just pop right out.
When you have the light out, you will see that there is a flat spring on the right inside of the light holding it in place. It is the same for both lights.
I changed my bulbs last night. I fumbled around with a screwdriver for a bit before I figured out how simple it was. You could do it with the hatch closed, but I found it easier with it open.
Makes a nice bright difference, even on Meteor Grey. Matches the LED/HID light from the front a lot better!
