Hello all... sorry if this question has been asked in the past... that said does anyone have the instructions/pictures on how to replace the side-marker bulb in the tail light assembly. I am guessing you have to remove something in trunk. I have already done the front amber bulb replacement. I am not sure how to get to the tail light bulb.

Many thanks in advance.

 

remove the trunk liner to get to the bulbs...

 

How do you remove the trunk liner portion need rear lens to get to the bulb? I see some black clips but not sure how to remove clips without damage to them?

Thanks in advance.

 

a flat head screw driver usually does the trick. it doesnt damage them, they just pop right out.

 

Thanks for input. That said, you mentioned using a flat head screwdriver to remove clips. Which way do I turn the clip? After the turn do they just pop out? Will I be able to get to the side marker bulb once the clips are out and I pull back trunk liner?

Thanks

 

So is it possible to make my taillights look like the JDMs by just changing the rear turn signal bulbs to amber? That way I can save myself like 300 bucks having to buy a whole new set of taillight housings! From what I've searched I think its a 12W-21W bulb....but what is this im reading about seal packing? People have been saying you need to replace it when you remove the taillights. And others say that it shouldnt matter when u remove the housing. Any input on this guys?

 

Glad I found this. my rear side marker bulb went out as well. I started removing the liner but didn't see where the bulb went. It was dark though. I will have to try again in the light.

 

you cant just replace it with an amber bulb and get the amber color when you flash your turn signal. The housing is transparent red therefore, whatever bulb you put in there, its going to light up red outside. You dont need to replace any seals when you remove the taillights.

Pull back the lining by taking out the little clips, once thats done there's 3 or 4 10mm bolts for each side, take those out and pull on the taillight from the outside. Take out the desired bulb and replace it with the new one, then put it all back together and you're done.
