Forget the reaching up over the exhaust or removing tail lights. The easiest way to get to and install the reverse lamps is to remove the license plate bracket. Remove your license plate, remove 4 T15 torks screws and the whole assembly comes off. Push the lacking tab and twist the sockets. You can now clean and wax/polish behind the plate bracket, install the two new bulbs (hit your lock button on your fob to test) and reinstall everything. Admire your work.

Thank you for the install tip!!!

I just ordered some, thanks to the OP for sharing!!!

You don't have to remove the license plate (Tag here in Alabama- LOL) itself if you are going to just change bulbs.

My plate/tag has a chrome trim around it that half covers the torx screws. But you're right you shouldn't have to even remove the plate.

I still have the factory black trim around my tag that has to be removed. My Adjure frame will arrive tomorrow. I already have the LED bulbs.
