There is a small cover next to the interior light on the drivers side of the tailgate. It's not access to the lightbulb as its is only on one side ...... ?

Apart from you'd also need to be on the inside to open it from there......

Slight flaw in the plan there me thinks O:-)
If things were meant to be easy, then I will soon complicate them....
Please note...
Anything I say is only from my personal experience and knowledge..
I don't assume to know everything, and know there is a lot I don't know..
But then I could be talking bollox.. O:-)
