You gotta open the rear hatch and remove the panel on the inside..then I beleive you just twist the bulb out (its a bit of a pain).

I threw on some nice leds, looks nice a night

The bulbs are in a harness that you remove before you can remove the bulb. It is a pain. The LED's look sweet, though.

Bro, did you have to install resistors with the LEDs?

I wouldn't think that the resistors are needed, simply because they are not the signal bulbs, which, without the resistors, will cause the signals to double its blinking rate.

No resistors needed for the license plate LEDs.
