Default Riddle me this. Light question

Fog light bulb for driverside rear is out. Do I have to remove the jump seat to access? If so how the heck do I do that.

Bumper lights they bulbs but no worky. Are the grounds for the bulbs sequential?

Most importantly How the heck do you get in the front fog lamps? Found the service info for front fog lamps.......may I say what a pain in the ***!

Yes. Unbolt them.

It is common for the bulb sockets in the bumper to go bad, remove the bulb and check for corrosion.
Buy these in pairs.

Yes it does blow for the rear seats.
I was going to swap them over from my donor that I bought last summer but decided not to because of this as well as storage space in the back of the truck.
Remove the bulb holder from the truck and inspect it for corrosion on both ends, where the bulb goes as well as where it plugs into the wire harness.
If you dont have mudflaps the bulb holders get full of road grim, water, etc.
I've replaced mine so many times it was ridiculous.
I have since made my own mudflaps so we will see if they last longer.

I've tried everything to seal them up, but for some odd reason they always get water in them.

looks like I need a socket and plug as the ones are corroded, Fog lamp was nothing more than a corroded connector

You don't need to remove jump seats to change bulbs. There are panels that remove to get to the lights, it is super tight but its doable, may be easier to remove the 2 wing nuts that hold the light assembly in and change them that way.
