Hey, my bottom right taillight seems to have burnt out recently. It's the one that is always on at night, not the brake light. I'll need to replace it but I have no clue what bulb it is, and how to get to it.

I've seen guides on how to replace the taillight assembly but to just replace one bulb, i'm wondering how to go about it and what part I should get.

Seems commonplace enough, and of course if it's simple enough I'd just do it myself.

 

i'll check with AZNoptics?

 

You can check sylvania.com to be able to see what bulbs you use. Removal of bulbs is slightly easy. You can go ahead and remove the peice of the carpet liner that houses the tail light housing. Then you should be able to see the rear of the tails. There should be two clips plus the wiring harness that connect to the body of the tail light. After popping those two and the wiring harness the rear tail assembly bulb holder will just pop right out.

 

I'm assuming when you say bottom right you're talking about your passenger side? Open the trunk look to your right, you should see some sort of twist handle. Open that and you should see one of your fuse boxes, look to the right of that where obviously your tail light should be and you'll see the circuit board. You don't need to but you can unplug the tail light from the wire harness, then look for 2 tabs, one top and one bottom, they release the tail light circuit from the tail light housing, pull that out and replace the bulb, it should be a 1156 type single circuit bayonet bulb as that's what I have, then again I'm in Hong Kong and I've read that US and Euro market cars have some differences. In any case, it's easily a -10min job you can do outside of an autoparts store, pull the board and the offending bulb out, run into the store, buy the correct matching one and replace.
