The procedure for replacing the two inner tail light bulbs mounted on the tailgate: Open the tailgate. Remove the ten T25 Torx screws securing the plastic cover from the inside of the tailgate. Remove that plastic cover to reveal a metal panel extending across the tailgate. Remove the ten PZ2 Pozidriv fasteners and that panel can be lifted away. Twist the bulb holders 1/8th of a turn counter-clockwise and pull the holders and bulbs out. The markings on my bulbs were not visible but I installed 194XL/BP2 bulbs and was happy with the results.
