Replacing inside trunk light

Have you guys done this...? Is it just removing the 2 tabs and pulling out the panel? TX.

yes as far as I did it

I wish you were right. Holy moly how many freaking techs are needed to replace a simple trunk light bulb? Apparently many. I count at least 6 tabs and 3 panels, at least! WTF were they thinking? Such a pita. Anyone actually replace their bulb? I thought replacing my LED was bad enough. Jezuz!

To replace the trunk bulb. You simply lever out the light unit with a trim removal tool from the back panel. No need to remove anything else.
