New so hello.

Trying to replace rear brake light on my 03' P5, one bulb is out. So took out all of the circular discs in the trunk area (per the manual) and removed the lid to the jack box. Cannot figure out what I need to do next to remove the burnt out bulb.

Any advice?

Really easy to do

Ok, I figured it out.

To replace a burned out bulb for your P5 in the rear....you pop out those round things in the trunk. Stick your fingers way in the now exposed holes, you'll feel a nut. Take all 3 nuts out and the plastic on the outside of the car will pop out/off. Pull the burned out bulb out, pop a new one in, put the plastic piece back on, screw the nuts back in, put the hole covers back on and you are good to go.

Pain in the butt isn't it? You woulda thought they'd design that a little better.

I don't find it's that bad. Only takes 5 minutes to do so.
