Dumb question: How to replace tail lights?

dtlee · 04-04-2008, 03:50 AM

I have no idea how to get to the taillight bulbs in this car. I removed the 2 plastic covers on the inside of the light housing, then the two bolts, but still couldn't figure out a way to wiggle the assembly free. I didn't want to break it by forcing it, but is there some sort of secret to this? Duhhhh I feel stupid but you help is greatly appreciated.... it feels like it's pinned somewhere still... to make matters worse I am working in the dark.

there's 2 bolts with small plastic covers....removed from the outside of the car...

one more bolt on the inside...you have to pull back the covering to see it (be careful not to drop this after removing

)

its not tough - unless you drop the bolt inside the car!

My friend just asked me about this last Sunday. Anyways, I think I just have to give you a much more detailed guide about tail light replacement.
