I would like to trade out my tail lights but it seems like you should be able to change them without taking off the bumper.

 

nope.. cuz there's a screw underneath each light.

do searches and you'll find out

 

You have to take off the bumper. Front and rear if you want to take lights out.

 

you DONT have to remove the rear bumper to change the lights. With a long enough screwdriver you can get that screw for the light. HOWEVER it is easier to just remove it.

 

Incorrect don't need to take off the back bumper to take off the tail lights.

 

crawl under the back bumber with a screwdriver (doesnt even have to be long) but better if it is and a flashlight and you will see the screw and there is plenty of room to stick your hand up there and unscrew it

 

yeah u don't need a long screwdriver. I used liek a 12 inch one and my hand and a flashlight. U will easily see it and remove it.

 

I dunno about you, but a 12in. one is a foot right? That's a damn long screwdriver if you ask me.. haha then can rewiring be done w/o the bumper off as well??

 

Wiring is done inside the car / trunk, so it has nothing to do with taking off the bumper or not..

As for a screwdriver... bust out the longest one that you have and see if it works.. if not... just take off the rear bumper! It sounds harder than it is..

 

lol hell yea a 12in screwdriver is long haha.

 

I just changed mine, I used a regular screwdriver and a flashlight (you do not have to remove the bumper or cut/extend the wires) your most important tool is patience.

 

lol wow so many different responses

 

um...you dont have to but is much easier if you do....
