I have a 96 civic ex coupe, I've seen the Si tail lights and i really like them, the red top and white bottom seem so clean, I want to get a set and install them, but i have a question or two.
How do i arrange the bulbs? can i just change the amber turn signal light with a red one and stick it in the top half?
And do the si tail lights have a smiliar layout to the ex? will the current bulbs that i have (except the amber turning light) fit into the Si light's sockets?
How do I change my ex's tail lights to an Si set?
the Si tail lights bolt up and the bulbs are in the same place as your current lights. i agree, the Si tail lights look WAY better then the EX tails. you want to keep your amber bulbs, that keeps you legal.

Anyone know how to change a front headlight on a mitsubishi outlander? 2004?
I used to own a 2000 Mitsu Eclipse and changed the tail lights by myself. The headlight on my outlander went out Christmas Eve and when I called Mitsubishi to quote a replacement, they said $545 ! YIKES! Not if I can do it myself....I found the part for $8.99 at a local auto parts store, but I am concerned that I may have to remove the bumper or something to get to the bulb - which would be why mitsu would charge so much to change it themselves.

Your dealer has quoted for a complete light assembly. It sounds like you need to ask for a quote on the bulb only. If the light has failed, and the car is only 2 years old, your warranty will cover it. If the light has been damaged by road debris, your insurer should cover the cost

How to replace wiring for a tail light.?
I own a 2001 Ford Escort and the rear left blinker/brake light does not work. It's not at the blinker switch and it's not at the bulb connector. So it must be a short in the wiring. Is this something I can change myself? If any one knows how to replace the wiring for a tail light in any kind of car, just give me a rough description of how to do it.
Thanks.

try the flasher unit or a possible fuse 1st - more likely than the wiring, unless the wires got damaged or rusted

Audi A4 1996 Tail Lights??
This sounds like a stupid question but I can't figure out how to change my Tail Light on my 1996 Audi A4. I can pull the %26quot;Lighting Cluster%26quot; off but that only gives me access to the Brake, Blinker, Reverse and Fog Light. there are two wires going from the Cluster to the light assembly that goes to the Tail Light. The only problem is you can't get to the light from the backside and I can't pull the Tail light / assembly out the little hole it is stuck in. I took the whole Light assembly out but the light assembly can't be seperated from the back part of it which is plastic and has some kind of Adhesive sealing the two. Any Ideas on how to change the Bulb? Its very frustrated because I have a %26quot;Haynes Manual%26quot; and the Owners manual and it doesn't show these tail lights it shows the Brake and Tail light as the same bulb. HELP ME PLEASE!!!! My inspection is coming up!!!!!
Audi A4 1996 Tail Lights??
Please take it to a dealer. That tail light assembly is sealed except for the ports through which the bulbs enter. If you are not able to get to the tail light, a professional needs to take a look at it.
I wish I had better information, but it should not be a so difficult to extract the tail light bulb.
Good Luck.
Audi A4 1996 Tail Lights??
For the life of me I could not figure out why you could not extract the tail light bulb. This makes sense now. Thanks for the explanation.
It is usual for the brake and tail light to be the one bulb if you look you will see it has two elements in the bulb
if you can take out the brake light, it IS the same as the tail light. the bulb has 2 filaments in it. one comes on with the lights, the other comes on with the brakes. the socket with the bulb should do a quarter turn and come out of the assembly, or if i remember, it may have a back piece that comes off the back of the assembly. if needbe, you can take it to your local autoparts store (advance or autozone) and see if they can help you out
The brake light bulb is a twin filament bulb.

Rear break/signal light bulb on 95 Corolla?
I have to change a rear break light on my 95 Corolla and am having dificulty getting the rear tail light assembly off to get at the bulb. I have taken off the 2 screws from the outside, and the one nut on the bolt from the inside of the trunk, but there are 2 clips on the side portion protruding into the trunk which I can't figure out how to remove. Any ideas?
Rear break/signal light bulb on 95 Corolla?
you should not need to remove the assembly. open the trunk and pull the cover away from the lamp assembly area. You will see the bulb housings. Twist and pull the housing for the failed bulb and replace the bulb. reverse the procedure and your done
Rear break/signal light bulb on 95 Corolla?
Doesn't the bulb holder just unscrew a little and pull out of the housing from inside the trunk?
you should be able to slide the tail light out sideways away from the middle of the car. make sure the lens moves a little first some cars the tail lights are glude in with a rubber compond to seal them.
My Idea..........Look in the manual - it'll tell you in there how to do it.

How to change a tail light on a 1990 chevy Caviler?
Hey YA. I just got pulled over for having my tail lights out on my 1990 chevy caviler. Well I went to NAPA and got the bulbs but I am not 100 percent sure how to get them in. Any advice would be helpful. Nothing stupid like %26quot;have your dad help you%26quot; or any of that ****.
Thanks guys and gals! :D 10pts for whoever can help me get them in! :D
How to change a tail light on a 1990 chevy Caviler?
There are 3 or 4 studs going through the panel where the tail lights are mounted that hold them in place, usually secured with big plastic wing-nuts. You may have to move some carpeting or a plastic panel out of the way to get that far.
http://repairguide.autozone.com/znetrgs/鈥?/a>
%26quot;Depending upon vehicle application, remove the lamp socket either by rotating it counterclockwise (approximately 1 / 4 turn) until the plastic tabs disengage, or by squeezing the metal tangs while pulling the socket from the light assembly.
Remove the bulb from the socket using the appropriate method. Bulbs with blade-type bases pull straight out, while those with round bases and protruding pins (bayonet-type bulbs) must be depressed, then rotated counterclockwise (approximately 1 / 8 turn) before pulling out.%26quot;
I'm thinking that on your model year, for a turn signal/brake bulb, to remove the socket would be the first method of the 2, and to remove the bulb would be the latter of the 2 methods.
Re; Additional Details
First, put some good tough gloves on, so you don't jab yourself. Then take a pointy-tipped needle-nosed pliers, jam it into the bottom and push it down in, and twist counterclockwise. Holding the pliers so that the tips are spreading out can help too. If worse comes to worse, go to the auto parts store and look in the %26quot;HELP!%26quot; section for a new socket.
How to change a tail light on a 1990 chevy Caviler?
You'll have to open the trunk to gain access. I would do both of them while I was at it because it seems like when one goes out, the other goes out one month later.
open your trunk, you may have to move the carpet directly behind the lights. there should be four screws sticking out. unscrew all of them and carefully pull out the lens and housing. the bulbs should pull straight out, but you may have to wiggle them a bit. when you go to replace the lenses, be very careful not to overtighten the screws because you can damage the rubber seals.
Open the trunk.On the back panel,maybe behind the carpet trim.You'll see some black wing nuts.Remove those wing nuts and pull out the whole tail light assembly.Once you have it out you'll see where the wires go to.Twist and pull out to remove bulb.

How do I change the tail lights in a 93 taurus?
My tail light is out, and I cant seem to access the bulbs. Any help would be appreciated. Oh, and I called some auto places, not too many out there know!|||Open the trunk then remove the trim panels in front of the lights. remove the nuts (about 8 of them) pull the whole assembly out the back and you will see where the bulbs are. Change the bulb and check to make sure it works befor you reassemble. Easy to do and shouldn%26#039;t take more than 15 minutes.|||Okay when I need to get a light changed I take it to my auto mechanic that I use for all repairs on my vehicle when it is out of warranty. He then changes the bulb for me and shows me how to do it so that I can do it myself at a later time.|||Go to Pep Boys and get a Chilton%26#039;s Repair Manual. It will give you step by step instructions with pictures
