How do you get the freaking rear tail lights off?? Can i not find a 3rd bolt or something? I feel like im going to break something if i pull harder? I found out 2 of my 3 break lights are out so im replacing them. Anyone know what lights i need off hand? thanks

 

Once you take off the two bolts you push the entire assembly towards the driver side of the car, then it should just pop right off.

 

take the two 10mm bolts off then hit it on the inside it pops right off

 

you can research wut lights you need/want on here or @ your local parts store..:}

 

bulbs will be a 7443 for tails and a 921 for the 3rd brake light

 

Funny how it seems even the easiest tasks can be difficult. You look at the owner's manual and it looks so simple but when you try to pull it off it seems like it won't budge and you're afraid you'll break something, haha. I've been there.

 

you guys are amazing

 

Get a larger prybar...........

 

Open the tailgate. There are two bolts on the right side, of your left tail light. Should be a 10mm socket or a philips screwdriver can also be used to remove them. The light is clipped in still to the body. You have to push the light to the left while keeping the light square to the body and it will pop out. Its important to push the light to the left not pull. Of course reverse for the passenger / right side.

Bulb is 7443 in Autozone.

 

Or a slide hammer. haha.
