How do I access the rear light assembly to replace a brake light bulb? I removed the two bolts inside the rear hatch but it seems to still not want to come out?

Hello,

To remove the taillamp assembly follow this procedure:
Open liftgate, remove two hex head bolts in inner D-pillar.
Rotate the lamp assembly away from the vehicle.
This will release the stud that goes into a grommet on the front side of the lamp.

Some times you will have to use good bit of force to get that stud out of the grommet.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
