I have done many things on this car myself (pulley, suspension...) and replacing two dead light on the reat cluster was more than an PITA. In the process I somehow managed to break the reverse light (which did not need replacing) IN the tailight housing! So I now have a new tailight and rear blinker bulb, and a swimming reverse light in three pieces in my rear housing. I figure I can fish it out piece by piece with a tweasers or something but in the meantime I needed to get things back in for use tomorrow when commuting.

I cannot wait to have to remove that bulb housing again!!

 

Remove the entire housing -- it is attached with one nut. Then you can just turn it over and shake the pieces out. The bulb holder panel also comes off and it is just attached with tabs.
