Replace a bulb or taillight assembly on a 2004–2009 Dodge Durango by releasing the rear lamp clips and disconnecting its connector plate.

Steps

   Turn off the lights and ignition and open the liftgate. Release the center locking pins and outer clips, then pull the lamp straight away from the vehicle.

2. Replace the bulb

   Disconnect the harness and remove the connector plate fasteners. Pull the failed bulb straight out, fit a matching replacement, and secure the plate to the housing.

3. Install the lamp

   Reconnect the harness and align the lamp clips with their openings. Press the housing into place evenly and reinstall its retaining clips.

4. Test the rear lighting

   Check the tail, brake, turn, and reverse lamps before closing the liftgate. Verify the lamp is flush and firmly retained.

Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
