Due to the high frequency of use, such as brake lights, the failure rate and damage rate of the rear tail light bulb are also very high. I think replacing the rear tail light bulb is a very simple task, but there are also some things to pay attention to during the replacement process, which need to be handled carefully.
The primary task is to determine which bulb is damaged in the rear combination tail light. In general, there are brake lights, position lights, turn signals, rear fog lights, reverse lights, etc. in the rear combination tail light. Different bulbs have different colors, powers, pins, claws, etc.
When replacing the rear tail light bulb, most vehicles do not need to remove the rear tail light assembly.
Open the trunk and remove the buckle of the decorative lining at the rear combined tail light to expose the lamp socket and wiring harness of the rear tail light.
To find the faulty light bulb that is not lit, most car models can remove the bulb holder from the combination tail light by turning it counterclockwise at a certain angle. Then, use a clean object such as a cloth to place it on the bulb glass, slightly press down on the bulb and hold it down. Turn it counterclockwise (some require clockwise) at a certain angle to pull the bulb up and out.
When installing, follow the opposite order, but it should be noted that the main parameters such as voltage and power of the light bulb should match the original vehicle. In addition, most brake lights and position lights have dual tails, while other light bulbs have single tails, so be sure not to install them incorrectly. Especially, the installation of dual tail light bulbs should strictly follow the different heights or angles of the claws, Otherwise, it may cause the rear car to not be able to judge from your brake lights that you have applied the brake (especially at night).
