The lights bulbs on a car are something that should be easy for the average 60 year old grandma to change, engineering it in that matter will make it a snap for car guys and gals and easier for non-techy car people..

In this case there is no reason a couple of small holes in relation to the rear lamp bolts could not have been added, there are already several back there for the wiring.. I highly doubt it would have impacted the structural integrity that much if any.

Without trying to sound like a complete ass, if a crappy company like Toyota can do it............. So can GM..
I agree with you on changing to the Technostalgia taillights. The bleeding stopped after a few days...

But I think what you're asking for in this case is to make it easier to mod the car (removing the taillight assy). I don't think that's tops on their list when they design it. Changing the tailight bulbs really isn't too hard; simply twist the socket and remove. Yeah it's tight, but no tools required.
Changing the backup lights is a different story!
