Question on changing the reverse light bulb on a MY 2019...

[MHdude]

So I purchased the LED bulb to replace the reverse light on my 2019 GT350. I watched the video on CJ Pony Parts (where I purchased the blub) on how to replace it and it seemed very straight forward. Unfortunately, there is now a panel blocking the access to the bulb area. On 2018 and older models, it looks like it's easily accessible via the underside. I'm assuming I have to remove the panel to gain access to the bulb? There's a lot of screws and panel clips holding it up, so I was hoping I didn't have to remove it.

Thanks in advance.

Here's a screenshot from their video:

Bummer - those look like rivets. Not hard to get off, just have to drill each one of them.

That's a lot of work just to swap out a bulb... I'm hoping there's an easier solution. Otherwise, I can live with the stock bulb

You just need to pull the undertray down first. It's like 4-6 bolts and a handful of those plastic push pins. DO NOT drill out the rivets. Watch out you will get showered with tiny little rocks.

All GT350s have that cover, it's not new for 19.

Their install video doesn't show that step because the GTs don't have that extra cover.

Not the best video, but it will show you what you need to know.....

When you get the diffuser loose, find someone with very small arms to replace the bulb.
