2. Service the bulbs

   Twist the bulb socket counterclockwise out of the light, pull the bulb off, push the new one on, then twist the socket clockwise back in — the brake bulb is a 7443, the backup bulb a single-filament 7440, and the turn signal bulbs are WY21W.

3. Reinstall the trunk trim

   Set the interior lining back down, clip in the hatch trim, then tighten the three clips securing the lining.
