Trunk Lid Light Removal/Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
  • Fogging or condensation on the inside of the trunk lid light may occur, however, it is a natural phenomenon occurring as a result of a temperature difference between the interior and exterior of the trunk lid lights and has no effect on the light performance. Fogging or condensation will dissipate when the temperature inside the trunk lid lights rises after illuminating the back-up lights and a period of time has elapsed.
