G-028: Need help with reverse lights replacement?

I can't seem to find how to replace the reverse lights. Does anyone know where I can find a DIY or guide me in the right direction, maybe a step by step or pictures?

Thanks

Any "how to" video that starts off like this: 'The reverse light is the white light that lights up when your RL is in reverse' is really appealing to the masses!

but if they're replacing it shouldn't it read: 'The reverse light is the white light that doesn't light up when your RL is in reverse'

I was surprised to find out you have to remove the entire taillight assembly when I installed my new reverse lights. I've never had to remove an entire assembly to replace a bulb before. In some ways it's easier because you don't have to remove the carpeting in the trunk to get to the back of the bulbs...on the other hand, those clips on the trim pieces are a bitch.

2008 Acura RL light

Do you really have to take off the back bumper to get to the reverse light ?

Nope, tail light is held on by a few bolts. Here are good instructions. They are for the turn signal but the idea is the same.
