'01 touring taillight

Tried searching to no avail.
Is the taillight in the lift gate of an e39 wagon serviceable?
Daughter's car in LA has the drivers side out. She can't figure out how to replace. She's pretty handy with such stuff normally and I can't find a bulb anywhere. Does the complete face lift light just get replaced? Seems silly?

Yes...there is access through #8 in the diagram below...which allows you to replace bulbs #9 & #10 (see diagram below).

To access the light bulbs that are in the tailgate...open the tool box...then disconnect electrical connector...then turn lock to remove socket housing (#8 in diagram below):



1=tail light | 2 = reverse light | 3 = rear fog light (not used in US market)
