Tail Stop Turn Lamp Bulb - Installation

BULB

An outer rear lamp for this vehicle is secured at the rear of each quarter panel and includes multiple Light-Emitting Diode (LED) units for the park (or tail) lamps, the brake (or stop) lamps and the turn signal lamps. A center rear lamp is secured on the lower deck lid and also includes multiple LED units for the park (or tail) lamps as well as two incandescent bulbs for the backup (or reverse) lamps. The LED units are service only as a unit with their respective outer or center lamp assemblies. The backup lamp bulbs are serviced individually.

CAUTION: Always use the correct bulb size and type for replacement. An incorrect bulb size or type may overheat and cause damage to the lamp, the socket or the lamp wiring.






NOTE: The center rear lamp unit contains two bulbs. One socket near each outboard end of this lamp contains a backup lamp bulb. The service procedures for each bulb are the same.

1. Align the base of the bulb with the appropriate bulb socket (2).
2. Push the bulb straight into the socket until the base is firmly seated.
3. Align the socket and bulb with the keyed opening on the back of the center rear lamp unit (1) housing on the inside of the deck lid (3).
4. Insert the socket and bulb into the housing until the socket is firmly seated.
5. Rotate the socket clockwise about 30 degrees to lock it into place.





6. Position the lamp cover (3) to the deck lid inner trim.
7. Reinstall a plastic push-in fastener (2) to secure the lamp cover to the deck lid (1).
8. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
