Removing a tail light from your vehicle is pretty straightforward and although the new and older models have different lights, the process should still be very similar. Most sedan and coupe model tail lights will follow the basic principles laid out in this post for removing a tail light.

Taillights in general can be a bit stiff or hard to remove because they are usually never removed for a long period of time. The best practice is to use a rubber mallet to hammer the prongs on the back of the tail light to pop it out. Use something that won’t damage the prongs and will allow you to fasten it without a bolt.

You'll need a rubber mallet and a 10mm socket with ratchet for this replacement.

1. Remove the brake light cover.

2. Disconnect the wiring and remove bolts.

3. Take the old brake light out.

4. Mount the tail light first then pull the cord.

5. Connect the wiring and put back the bolts.

6. Put back the brake light cover.

Now your brake light is as good as new. Drive safe!
