How do I change tail light bulbs ?

I js sold my blacklines yesterday and went back to stock tail lights. I had them off for about 7 months and now some of the bulbs dont work. As you can see from the picture, on the left taillight, the middle bulbs don't work. On the right side, the stop light doesn't light up unless i step on the breaks.



I looked back and couldn't figure out how to change the bulbs. Do i need to take out the whole white plastic thing out ? don't feel like going to the dealership and wait like an hour for this crap.

thanks guys

you basically have to take the housing out ... it takes about 15-30mins depending on experience. Here's a DIY post you can follow

No need to go to dealer. Just unhook the wiring and take the white piece out which is the housing for the bulbs. Check the bulb that's out, make sure it's put in properly and everything is in place.

Just do self tests...to see what's wrong with the bulb
