Nope - just pry off the light and replace the bulb.

take a small flat head and put a piece of tissue over it and then use that to pry it off. the bulb is like an amberlicense plate bulb but idk the number. it could be 2825 though

It should come right off - there is a small little clip on the bulb housing you might have to wiggle, but it'll come out

I see you're runninga 2.8 - manual or tip?
