This is probably a dumb question, but im new to car maintenance.

I have a 2000 V6. My rear turn light is out. The manual says take the car to a dealer to have them changed. When I look in the trunk, I dont see how I can get to it. Does anyone know of a link to instructions so i can do it myself?

thanks

 

Remove the plastic retainers that hold in your cargo net

Pull back carpet

Remove 4 11mm nuts from tail light

Pull light out

Change bulb



Reverse the procedure to install.

 

but its all welded together. i cant remove the metal piece behind the carpeting

 

Look for the 4 nuts, loosen them.

 

Ive had one out for 2 years

Still havent replaced it, nor my foglights..
am i lazy?

 

No you aren't lazy. Its a pain in the butt gettin the carpet out and gettin the bolts out.

 

not to thread'jack' but is there anywhere that carries either of the lights im missing

ive looked everytime i go to a new store for the foglights for our GT's and nobody and i mean NOBODY carries them

and ive never seen the taillights either..

kind of bothersome to be honest[>:]

 

I'm suprised that you can't get the tail lights from a store. They SHOULD have those.. the fog lights you could probably get from Ford, or online.. if the store can't order them for you.

 

i got replacement tail ligts from autozone. i think they even had em at walmart. the tails are really eazy to take off and its not really a pain. you take off the plastic cover around the trunk latch then remove the 2 plastic screw on pins that hold the rear carpet thing on then take that out then you can just kinda bend the carpet on the side of the trunk that you are working on back and you can see..dont remember...like 5 bolts. unscrew and pull ur taillight out. done it many times.

 

you guys must have real stores,, walmart, auto zone, napa, advance,, none of them around here carry either light bulb i need

by the way amrcnidyot awesome choice on the color

i think we're the only 2 of 'maybe' 3-4 members with it (that actually post i mean)
