How to Replace Reverse Light Bulbs
- 1). Open the trunk on the vehicle and locate the back of the brake light assembly housing. Pull any carpet out of the way so that you have direct access to the rear of the brake light assembly.
- 2). Remove any screws from the brake light assembly. Pull the whole brake light assembly out from the outside of the vehicle.
- 3). Locate the clear portion of the tail light lens. Then, locate the socket directly behind the clear portion of the tail light lens. This will be the socket that holds the reverse light bulb.
- 4). Remove the reverse light bulb socket by twisting the socket counterclockwise one quarter of a turn. Then, pull the socket straight out of the back of the assembly.
- 5). Pull the old reverse light bulb out of the socket and insert the new bulb into the socket.
- 6). Have your helper crank the engine and hold the brake pedal down. Then, have that person move the shift lever to the reverse position. Check the bulb to make sure that it is working. Then, put the shift lever back in park and shut the engine off.
- 7). Slide the socket with the new reverse light bulb back into the back of the assembly. Twist the socket clockwise one quart of a turn to lock the socket in place. Reverse the above steps for reinstalling the brake light assembly.
