What you need
-

Open your tailgate fully, exposing both sides where the tailgate sits.

-
-
-
Unscrew the two phillips head screws located above and below the tailgate support.
-
-
-
Once the screws have been removed, simply pull off the taillight. The red plug is the taillight. Twist it a quarter turn counter clockwise, and pop it out.
-
-
-
-
Remove the old bulb and replace it with your new one.
-
Side note: Make sure replacement bulb is save voltage/amperage rating.
-
-
-
Two metal pins holding each of the headlights in place will need to be removed (no tool necessary).
-
Turn the plastic headlight mount counter clockwise by one quarter of a turn.
-
Then lift the pins up to fully remove them.
-
-
-
Once the pins have been removed, GENTLY pull your headlight upwards, towards you. The bulbs should now be exposed. The bulb on the top is your headlight.
-
-
-
As you did with the taillight bulb, turn the piece that is holding the bulb in place a quarter turn counter clockwise, and the bulb will pop out. Now your new bulb will take it's place.
