How to change reverse bulb on a Toyota ep91 Carat rear lights?

[vincyman]

Hey guys, I just got an Toyota ep91 Carat and my left reverse bulb is blown. I tried locating the socket is to remove the blown bulb, but it seems to be where I cant reach the socket. If you guys know how I go about changing the bulb will be greatly appreciated thanks much.

is it not just a case of popping off the interior plastic trim piece in the boot and then locating the correct bulb holder?

my boot plastics have been removed so its maybe a bit simpler in mine lol.

Hey Phil thanks for replying. I did pop the the plastic trim piece off, but the bulbs i can change are the indicator bulb and brake bulb but the reverse bulb socket seem to be hidden i just cant get to it from the trunk. I was pulling the plastic boot from outside but i feel i might break it.

These are the light i have

yeah i have the same lights dude.

probably gonna have to pop the whole unit out then dude, shouldn't be too hard, that way u can then access the light socket on the side thats housing the reverse bulb.
