2009 - Hatchback - Rear Light Assembly Removal for Bulb Change

[MatchboxKiller]

yeah, I almost had the damn thing out and it just wouldnt pop out the rest of the way. Oh well, duct tape fixes everything which reminds me, I wish I still had the pics of my old truck, I got bored one day and put duct tape racing stripes on it.

I spent half hour to pull the lights out. Thanks your great info JRamage.

I changed a bulb using your instructions this evening. Thanks JRamage for making this post, they worked great!

thanks Jamie, I havent had to change a bulb yet, but knowing this, will definitely help.

I have the same car as yours, same year, same color.

Both brake lights burned out within the first year. They are not covered under the "bumper to bumper" BS warranty.

The factory ones are cheap, poor quality bulbs. They are easy to change. No big deal.
