I was trying to change my right side tailight because it was cracked and after taking the three screws from the inside of the trunk, I started pulling the tailight and I realized it did not came off. So, I called the dealer, and they say that it has a screw from the bottom. Then, I looked at my new tailight and indeed, it had a threaded hole in the bottom part (poor engineered). The dealer wants $150 just to change the tailight because they have to remove the whole bumper.

Has anyone changed a tailight before? is it something you can do by yourself?

I just noticed that half those pictures no longer work. let me try to rehost them and edit the thread and have the mods put it back up.

 

actually taking off your back bumper isnt as hard as you think. if CCColsicehockey cant host the pics just msg me and i can walk you through it

 

wow $150 for < 20 mins of work??? tell that dealer to suck his own d*ck

 

pictures are re-hosted and thread edited.

 

Thanks for everything guys.... I will try to do it myself during the weekend. I will tell you later how it went.

thnks again

 

Hey.... after you remove all the screws and everything, the bumper will just come off???

 

THe bumper will require some effort to be pulled from both sides. It's like a lego piece.

 

 

i think its a lil harder to pull than a lego

 

Thanks a lot for everything guys..... I changed my tail light this weekend without any problems at all. It was easy....
