Steps
- Remove the hatch trim
Release the cargo lamps and disconnect their wiring. Use a trim tool to remove the lower push pins and handle covers, then release the hatch trim clips and lift the panel away.
- Remove the reverse-light assembly
Unplug the lamp connector and remove the retaining bolts. Release the housing locating pins carefully and pull the lamp assembly away from the hatch.
- Replace the bulb or housing
Remove the access grommet and twist the bulb socket out. Pull the old bulb straight from the socket, fit the correct replacement, and turn the socket back into the housing; replace the full assembly if its body is damaged.
- Reinstall the lamp and test it
Seat the lamp in its locating points, reinstall its bolts, and reconnect the electrical plug. Route the cargo-light wires through the trim panel, reinstall the clips and handles, then verify both reverse lamps illuminate with the vehicle safely secured.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
