E70 X5 Tail Light Bulb / Housing change or access

[Tacticalx3M40i]

Hey there, I'm a previous Audi owner. I have hex keys, I have screw drivers, I have all kinds of needle nose pliers. How the heck do I change a tail light bulb on my 2012 X5?

I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong spot but I'm thinking about changing my reverse light bulbs, but any bulb at the moment could do.


I just installed upgraded LED license plate bulbs from Bimmian.com and I couldn't be happier.

Didn't the 2012 already have led license plate bulbs stock ?

Yes it did. But this was an upgrade to a much brighter LED. Anyway, I figured out the tail light housing situation. 10mm socket wrench needed for inner lights. The outer lights can be accessed via removing inner panels and there is a removable housing. A little trickier than other vehicles I've owned.
