Steps
- Remove the taillight
Remove the two inner and two outer Phillips screws holding the lamp. Pull the assembly back carefully and unplug its wiring connector before setting it down.
- Transfer or replace bulbs
If reusing the housing, change the required bulb and make sure its socket is locked. For a new assembly, transfer the serviceable bulbs and inspect the connector for damage.
- Install the taillight assembly
Reconnect the lamp harness and align the assembly with the body opening. Start all four screws, snug them evenly, and verify the lamp sits flush without pinching its wiring.
- Test rear lighting
Check the tail, brake, and turn signal lamps with an assistant. Confirm every function works before closing the tailgate or driving.
