Tail light woes

So I'm on the way home from work on Friday night and a coworker calls me...tells me my right tail light is out. Great. I just replaced the left tail light a few months ago. WTF?

Saturday night I get pulled over for it.

After inspecting it on Sunday, BOTH right tail lights are out. Why would both lights suddenly burn out? One...well, one just happens. But two at the exact same time?

Well, normally they go within a couple of days of each other as each tailight bulb should be used for exactly the same amount of time.....

Same Issue

Are they difficult to replace?

I figure I will just do it myself and read from the manual.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Very easy. you need to unscrew the round net holder and take the screws out of the plastic piece at teh trunk opening. Remove it and pull the carpet back to expose the tail light

Hey, thanks!

I noticed one of MY parking lamp bulb in the rear was out too.
But I was puzzled last night because I didn't know that the net
hook UNSCREWED. Must just be a little tight. Thought it was
like a beauty washer that would pop out. Glad I didn't force
it.
