Amazon product ASIN B06XQWPKKX
They are plug and play, but only after you’ve removed the big plastic body panel from inside your tailgate door.

All in all, going slow, it’s a 30-min job.
Replacing the bulbs takes only a few seconds.

This video really helped me. It turned out to be quite simple. Just don't be afraid to pull hard. Just watch out for your rear door handle. If it isn't broken already, it might be when you're done.

Gotcha, thanks! I was thinking of the side panels for some reason. The rear panel should be too terrible after taking the proper screws out.

Ran out of approach angle and didn't read a trail description before going for it... 😆

Yeah, pressed into a rock on a tight, off side turn while watching driver aide break-over rock and slider contact.

Backed out at that point...👍

Ouch. Looks fine after your “repair”. Mines got some scrapes too... ironically from other buddies trucks hitting mine in the parking lot at TLCA events. Shake my head... folks dont know how much their ARB bumpers stick out...
