Replacing Tailgate Sidelight

[plastic orange]

Sidelight is out on drivers side on tailgate. Looking at how to replace, I assume I'll have to take all tailgate trim off (thought there may have been a hatch). Any tips on best way to proceed?

Looked online for a how to, but nothing specific.

The inside trim on the tailgate is held on with clips and is just pulled off towards you. Start with one corner and then work from there. Once you have got one clip off you will be able to see what you are doing. Make sure that you just take off the lower trim, not the bits by the glass on the sides.

I forgot to mention that it's a 2005 model.

To fit tail gate sidelights, the bottom trim had to be removed, then the top one loosened at the relevant side. Didn't need any tools, but it's a poorly designed way of doing - should have had removable panels like my LS.

I thought they were LEDs!

No, 5w bulbs.
