No. Every bulb in the rear assembly is accessible without removing the entire housing.

Thanks MyFirst, Styker and DogsRide,

I would like to just replace the bulb by doing the minimum work right now, since it is winter here. I have a 2008 base model 3 door Hatchback.

QUESTION: Can I remove the small fitting the bulb is in just by twisting it, as the video shows?

I would then just remove the bulb by pulling the bulb out and sticking a new bulb in. The guy in the video uses gloves to replace the bulb, to avoid getting fingerprint oil on the bulb glass, but I thought this was only necessary for headlight bulbs.

Thanks,

R.
