How do you remove rear light bulb holder?

[Jeffrey Olson]

The subject says it all. I've got a 99 SE and the chilton manual says to rotate the bulb holders in their sockets and remove. Well, I can't get them to rotate, and I can't for the life of me see how to pry those suckers out.

Any help???

Do you mean the light for the license plate lights? I have no idea which lights you're referring to.

[Jeffrey Olson]

I mean the brake light and tail light sockets. The bulb goes in from the outside, but to get it in you have to remove the socket, not the lens.

Sorry for being obtuse. My rake light burned out and I need to replace the bulb...

I'm messing with a spare tailight I have and all I can say is make sure you're turning it the right way

And you also need to put in a fair amount of force to turn the bulb.

^^ yea its not that hard to take out the bulb all you have to do is twist it...make sure you twist it in the right direction.

I actually used a pair of pliers to gain leverage and put some force into it. I had the same thoughts of it being stuck in there for good.

Just give it a good tug, it should be able to come off. Well when i changed mine it wasnt really that difficult.
