Tail Light Change?

Tim S · 03-19-2005, 06:32 PM

My wife a while ago backed up into a tree and cracked the passenger side tail light. I was just curious how to go about changing it. I'll be able to get a new light but how do I get to the connectors and hardware holding it in? Thank you for any help!

When you open your rear hatch there are two screws at the top of the tail light. Remove them and the fixture should tip right out. Once the fixture is out you should be able to reach the connection.

I know that the 95 tails and the 98 tails look a bit different but would a pair of the 98 tails fit on my 95?
