Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to service your taillight, both just changing the bulbs as well as replacing a complete assembly. At 1A Auto, we sell quality replacement assemblies if you back into something and break your taillight or something like that. You'll need a new taillight from 1aauto.com, as well as an 8mm wrench or socket and ratchet.
Open up your rear tailgate, and we'll show you on the passenger side but the driver side is exactly the same. There are two 8mm bolts that hold in the taillight. I'm going to use a 8mm socket, ratchet, and extension. A wrench would work as well. Remove those two bolts. With the bolts out, pull diagonally back and out at the same time. There are a couple pins that lock the light into place. Once you have the light free, if you're just looking to change the bulbs, all the sockets twist counterclockwise and come out. Then once you have them out, all the bulbs just pull straight out of the sockets and go back in. The bulbs have their part number printed on them so you can get replacements. If you need the unplug the harnesses from the sockets, there are just tabs on each socket. We press down on the tab and disconnect the socket from the harness.
Reinstall, either reconnect the harnesses or if your light doesn't come with the bulbs in place, put your old bulbs back in place. You just put them in and twist them in clockwise until they lock into place. You'll always hear a clicking sound when they connect. Then there are two pins that you look back in there, line them up into the body, and then give them a tap in. Set them and then put your two 8mm bolts back in and tighten them up nice in firm. Do not over tighten them.
Thanks for tuning in. We hope this video helped you out. Next time you need parts for your car, please visit 1AAuto.com. Also check out our other helpful how-to and diagnosis videos.

I do have to say.....These replacement taillights are incredible! You simply cannot tell the difference between the factory and the replacement. There is a sticker if I remember right on the backside of the lens replacement or maybe inside of the box that says that they conform to certain specs for DOT or something like that, (It's been a couple weeks since I've replaced it) and I totally understand that and why. But yeah, you will not be disappointed with these lens replacements. They are perfect in every way!
At one point maybe a year ago, I had replaced the headlights also as the lens were so cloudy and nasty looking, and I didn't want to go through the process of cleaning them up, sanding, polishing, etc., etc., so changing them out was a very simple task, and I was extremely impressed with the results! Makes the vehicle look a LOT better, and I can see at night perfectly! Best decision I ever made!
