Rear upper tail light question

[Cortinas316]

Need to replace rear upper tail light in a 2007 hummer h3 and wanted to ask...it's seems like the only way to change it is too pull on the cover from the inside. I just wanted to confirm before yanking on it hard that it is only held in place by retention clips. Also if anyone knows what kind of bulb I need to ask for would be helpful too.

You need to remove the two screws on the taillight assembly and then firmly pull it outwards. It take a good pull to remove it from the truck.

Ahh, whole 'nuther thing. I haven't removed it so I can't speak to the process. I do know that it's two LED panels in there, so it's not a thing of going down to the parts store to pop in a new bulb.

Some owners have soldered in new LEDs to avoid the high cost of a new unit at $180. http://store.gmpartshouse.com/parts...H MOUNTED STOP LAMP&component=High mount lamp

Crap. Worst news ever. Hopes to make it a quick Sunday project.once I get in there I'm sure it won't be a big deal but I just hope when I tank on the cover I don't break something unrepairable.
