any ideas how to change the right brake bulb in a 97 explorer i was told theres a special way is this true cheers shaun ps im in AUSTRALIA
 






if your talking about the tail light bulb i would jsut think that u unscrew the tail light housing from the body. Than you take out the burnt up bulb put a new one in and than screw the tail light housing bak together.
Thats what i would think......... but maybe im just confused ??


o well


PEACE
 






Once you take of the two screws the lens is held
on by two clips if you remove the screws and then pull
on the lens gently it will come apart. I just did mine a week ago. Just make sure you pull the lens off at a straight angle..

Just be careful

I bought a 97 used and the tail light looked like a fish bowl with water in it. Those pry out studs had rusted quite a bit and I think the last owner pulled too hard and cracked the lens plastic. If they don't want to come out then pry from the back. When you put it together be sure to put some never-sieze or grease on the studs and bolts. Makes it a lot easier the next time.
