Default 95-00 LS corner tail and lid light removal

Ne need to tear out your trunk lining to find those pesky hidden screws on the corner tail lamps.

Open the trunk and with a small flat bladed screwdriver pry off the covers and presto... a 10mm socket or Philips P2 tip for the bolt. It's been a spell, but I recall you pull straight out, don't pry it or you may damage the plastic locator pins.

Replace with:

Rear turn signal
7440

Tail light
7443

Stop light
7443

This one you'll have to remove the little retaining clips that fasten the liner to the trunk lid. The ones just behind the inner tails are only necessary. A small flat bladed screwdriver will pop them out easily. Don't be too agressive cause these little guys can go flying.

Lift the liner out of the way to expose this: (This is the driver/left side)



The smallest nut is an 8mm, the rest are 10mm. Remove the rubber plug on the outer corner and you'll have access to the nut.

Replacing the bulbs is much easier with the liner out of the way. To remove the bulb holder, you'll need a Philips screwdriver and where the green circle is, this is the one you'll un-screw.

Tail/stop light
7443
