Default Right reverse light malfunction

I am assuming it is burnt out so I got some replacements but is this an easy thing to do? I assume there is a panel in the trunk with a few screws that will give me access to the light bulbs.

Am I close? Anything I need to know before I tackle this hopefully 5 min job?

Thanks!

Yes, it's very easy to remove the panel. IIRC, 4 nuts to remove and the panel that holds the bulbs comes out.

May not be just the bulb.

Be sure to unplug the big wire harness plug that goes to the whole light assembly and inspect inside the plug for burnt/melted wires and spade terminals.

This is not hard to do - just unplug it and look at it. You will know immeadiately if something looks wrong.
