Default AU3 Ute Do i have to remove the rear bumper to replace reverse light?

Hi guys,

after getting rear ended my reverse light got busted, I thought no worries buy a new one and whack it on.

had a fiddle a minute ago but it got to dark to see what I was doing.

But it didnt seem to be a simple unbolt/bolt on job, do I have to remove the bumper to get the reverse light assembly in, or has my bumper perhaps lost some shape with the impact?

cheers

To replace the unit the bar has to come off. But to replace the globe it doesn't. The clear cover should unscrew.

Cheers
