Default Deck stoplight

My wife's light is burned out. Is there any trick to getting the housing off to replace the lamp? And what lamp is it? 7440? And only a single one?


THANX

Hi Mike,

Can you list the web address for the video about the high mounted stop light. I'm going to led's and cant seem to figure out how to get access to the bulb.

Thanks,

On my '02, I thought I had to move the unit either the left or right (not sure which) first to unlock it from the rear deck, then removed it.

I popped mine up with a butter knife then pulled it forward like in the video. You do have to remove the cable to get the bulb holder out.


In Texas - took 2 minutes and I came out soaked!
