Re: taillight bulb replacement Reply #1 – August 17, 2005, 12:37:31 PM In the trunk, there's that grey plastic with some sort of felt, or woll, or whatever on it. Undo some of the plastic clips holding it to the rear of the trunk, then just pull the panel away from the area of the tail light. Now grab the bulb socket and twist it. It will pull right out and you can replace the bulb. :) Quote Selected

You have to push to get the actual bulb out of the socket. I was just talking about getting the socket out of the tail light. :) Quote Selected
