Pull the panel out and away from the back of the car, being careful not to force the bulbs out of the holes.

There are five bulbs in each tail light housing. They are as follows:
-
Brake light
-
Reverse light
-
Tail light
-
Turn signal
-
Side marker
-
-
-
To remove any of the bulbs simply turn them counter clockwise approximately a half turn and then pull them out of their socket.

-
Before installing the new bulb consider cleaning the socket with a soft metal wire brush such as the brass brush shown to help remove any corrosion.
-
Then install the new bulb, reassemble the device, and finally, be sure to test that all of your rear lights are working before going for a drive.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
