Difficulty: Beginner · About 20 min · Dodge Intrepid

Replace a Dodge Intrepid tail light assembly or bulb by removing the trunk liner retainers and checking every rear lamp function afterward.

Steps

1. Remove the tail light assembly

   Open the trunk and release the insulation pins. Fold the liner back, remove the lamp thumb screws, and disconnect the electrical connector before lifting the assembly out.

2. Replace a bulb or transfer sockets

   To replace a bulb, twist its socket out, remove the old bulb, and install the correct replacement. For a new assembly, transfer the serviceable sockets into the matching positions.

3. Install and test the lamp

   Reconnect the harness, align the assembly, and reinstall its thumb screws and trunk insulation. Test tail, brake, turn, and reverse lights before driving.

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