Summary
Changing your rear tail lights is a pretty simple task. However, most people the first time do not know which direction to pull the tail lights out and some have actually broken the tabs. This write up will show you how to safely remove the tail lights and replace the bulbs.


Step 1: Removing the Tail Light Assembly
Remove the two screws with a philips head screwdriver. Next, push the tail light assembly outwards. It might require a bit of force, but it will pop out. Use two hands to control the amount of force you exert on it.

Step 2: Installing the Bulbs
Well, this part does not take rocket science. Just simply untwist the harness and pull out the burned out bulb. Next, insert your new bulb in and re-assemble everything in reverse order.
