    • When removing the tail light there are little hooks with holes that are used to hold them in place as shown in the first photo.

    • The tail should already be loose from the previous step so pull it out slowly by turning it on its side and then pulling forward.

    • Use the 7 mm socket to unscrew the two bolts securing the brake light housing to the tail light assembly.

    • The screws in this step are "Rexka 30pcs M4.2-1.41 x 20mm".

    • With the actual light, unplug them by pulling them out but not with too much force.

    • Plug the new light bulb(s) in place of the ones that don't work.

    • Please be careful with how you remove the bulbs because they are made of glass.

    • Now put everything back together and put all the screws back on.

    • The steps are the same on both sides and is a fairly simple and fast process.
