Having trouble replacing a tail light bulb? Some of you are while others are thinking this article is a waste of their time. Here are some simples steps to take if you need to replace your own turn signal light or brake light.
1) Check if you need to replace it from the inside or outisde. What I mean is see if you need to take the light cover off or go for the bulb from the inside of the trunk. If you need to take it from the outside, make sure to unscrew the cover. If from the inside, there should be some kind of latch or bolt that holds everything in place. Open that bolt or latch to reveal the bulb on the inside.
2) When unscrewing the bulb remember it may be hard to get out. Think of it was a medicine bottle, push down on the bulb (not too hard) and unscrew at the same time.
3) Take the bulb to your local auto parts store to have them find a bulb that matches your old one. BUY the bulb.
4) Make sure to clean the bulb's socket with a brush or cloth before putting a new one back in.
5) Replace the bulb when you are ready and check to see if it works. Get someone to to watch it for you while you turn on the brakes and signal. That someone could be anyone; friend, coworker, spouse, parent, sister anyone you can name.
There, if you needed help I hope that did you justice. But for those of you who know how to do this, I'm sorry for taking your time.
