How to get to these lights on the rear????
I was trying to find away that I can get to these side marker lights.
I have looked and I do not see any screws or anything?
This is a N/A 2011 Outlander SE
Look at these pictures and any info would be helpful
thanks

Try taking the piece out. Take a look into this thread. Talks about rear fog lights, but you might be interested to see the pictures and how that compares to yours

This is not in the user manual that comes with the vehicle
I looked thru the service manual that I downloaded from links on this forum in another sticky
And could not find it there either
So still need some input as in what to look for/where to be able to remove the light housing on those side marker lights at the bottom

For future reference, they are called "REAR SIDE-MARKER LIGHT" in the US. Removal is found on page 54Ac-183 of the service manual, not the user manual. Looks like you remove the rear bumper first, remove a screw for the red lens, then it will pop out.
Attached is a snippet from the manual.

ok. I think I downloaded the wrong manual for the Sport......checking if I got the right manual
2nd.....why would they have this to have to remove the body panel/bumper?
(where can I download the Outlander (not sport) service manual?)<never mind>
I would think you would then have to use a plastic fork tool to remove them out if they are press fitted in...do you think this is how?
Has anyone else ever had to change the light bulbs on their vehicle?

You don't need to remove rear bumper.
You need to raise liftgate cover, unfasten 3 fasteners, remove that cover. There will be an opening through which you need to undo the screw holding marker light assembly.
You'll need at least 5" long screwdriver.
You might want to remove main rear light to get visibility of what's inside.

I did that, got a trim removal tools set off Amazon
popped out the plastic screw, lost one of them
could NOT get to the screw to loosen
tried and tried and broke the tabs off the light housing
the same one in the picture
now using 3m trim double sided tape to hold it on, so need to buy another light housing (NEED the part number)
and also need INSTRUCTIONS on how to get this damn thing off
I will not go to the stealership to replace a light bulb, that's just stupid
a $2 part and $98 dollars in labor
