Tips & Tricks

  • The cover has an arrow and LH/RH marking — ensure the arrow points up when reinstalling so left and right covers aren't mixed up.
  • Disconnect the LED brake light connector before removing the bulb housing to avoid ripping the wires.
  • Turn the bulb housing counterclockwise about 1/8 of a turn to release it, and clockwise to reinstall.
  • Do not yank the housing — gently manipulate it to avoid damaging the LED brake light wiring.
  • Hold the bulb carefully after removal so it doesn't fall into the body cavity.
  • The bulb must be oriented correctly before inserting — align it so it slides in the right direction before turning to lock.
