    The rear blinkers have stopped working so I picked up two new bulbs
    but am unable to figure out how to install them. The owners manual
    only shoes the front. I looked for an opening in the trunk and
    couldnt find one and I tried removing the entire tail light assembly
    but cant find one of the screws. Any idea how to replace the rear
    tail lights?

    Not sure if you have the hatchback or sedan but I'm sure they are
    pretty similar. If you open the trunk you will see a few screws that
    hold the lamp housing into place right next to the rubber
    weatherstripping. Once they are out you need to sort of imagine the
    other side of the housing (along the side fender) is on a hinge and
    swing the assembly around to the side. Once you see it you will
    understand but is is very hard to describe.

    It moves pretty freely in the right direction so if it is dificult
    don't force it. The sockets that give you access to the bulbs are on
    the back of the lamp assembly. Just twist em counterclockwise and pull
    out the bulb.

    Since you have 2 bulbs gone bad I would look at fuses next if these
    bulbs don't fix the problem.

    Yeah I got the 2 screws out but couldnt figure out how to remove the
    blinker assembly. I tried pulling on it and it sounded like it was
    cracking so i stoped and screwed it back on. Ill try again. Right
    now the center light works fine but the left and right blinkers are
    out. Thanks for the help.
