Replace the tail light assembly and bulbs on a 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero.

Steps

1. Remove the tail light assembly

   Lift the trunk panel off, remove the cargo clip, pull back the insulation, remove the three thumb screws, pull the assembly straight out, unclip its harness, then twist out all the sockets (or just pull a bulb straight out and push in the new one to swap bulbs alone).

2. Install the new tail light assembly

   Twist the sockets into the new assembly, clip the harness back in, line it up and push it into place, replace the three thumb screws, refit the insulation and net clip, then push the panel back down.

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