I think I found what looks like to a dead bumble bee in my driver side tailight. I just want to know if I can take the cover off? Or do I have to take the whole tailight off and then take the cover off? I assume its not too hard to do?

tail light is one piece, behind the trunk carpet, you should some screws, i believe its either 7 or 8mm nut. once you take the screws off, the tail light should separate from the body.

Slow down when you back up...try to keep it under 70 mph!

Yeah, I have no doubt you can take it off, but can you actually open up the tailight itself?

once you get the lights off, take out the bulbs and you should be able to flip it upside down and sahke it out.
