Left rear brake bulb burnt out. Replaced bulb. I'd venture it took about 15 minutes. To get to the bulb it required removing the left rear tail light assembly. To remove the assembly required removing to plastic inserts and then sliding the assembly out. The I could remove the socket and replaced the bulb. After the bulb is replaced assembly is the reverse of removal. The first time I changed it, it took about 30 minutes. Practice makes perfect. Interestingly enough, I haven't needed to replace the RR bulb.
