When the lights get a little corrosion on the terminals (esp. the rear tailights) it can give you a false lamp out reading. Many have taken the bulbs out and cleaned up the contacts with a rubber eraser and then put a little dielectric grease in the socket to cure this.

There are two torx screws on the inside of the tailgate for each tail light lens. Then you gotta pull like a motha to get it out. Do a search, you'll find plenty on taking out the tail lights.

Take the 2 screws out and then use a screwdriver and CAREFULLY pry the taillight out. You'll hear a pop and it'll come out...Just be careful not to scratch the paint. The headlights are the same way
