Remove the lic. plate. Remove the reverse light housing (on the side you need). Reach through that hole to undo the 2 screws (7mm or 10mm??? i forgot) on the inboard light housing. Reach through that hole to get at out board.

You guys are great. As soon as it warms up a bit I'll get out the band aids and go to work.:thumbsup::goodpost:
