How do you access the bulbs for the license plate bulbs? Do i have to remove the lining on the inside of the truck or is there a way to remove the housing from the outside? I looked on realoem but it didn't help much. Can somebody give me a hand here? Thanks

To remove you will need to push the housing laterally. You could use the small slot locate at the housing and a small screwdriver to do this.
