A tip for changing tail light etc. bulbs

Had to change a tail light bulb and I found that the instructions in the owner's manual were rather optimistic. Bent over with one's head in the trunk (and a trunk lid with weak struts ready to fall at any time), the bulb holder does not just pop out... it has to be maneuvered and pried. Putting it back was worse, although the left side did finally go in. On the right I kept knocking the side indicator bulb out of its socket (it is a bayonet fitting). I then realised there are 4 easily accessible bolts holding the lense assembly in place. With the assembly released the bulb assembly can be pulled through the opening and you can better see how to maneuver it into place.
