  • Let the bulb cool if it was just on—they get hot!

🔧 Steps to Replace the Rear Blinker Bulb

• 🧰 Open the trunk.
• 🧰 Locate the access panel on the side of the trunk, behind the tail light. It's a small door in the trunk lining.
• 🧰 Remove the access panel by pulling it open with your fingers.
• 🧰 Find the turn signal bulb socket. It's the middle socket on the back of the tail light assembly.
• 🧰 Twist the socket counterclockwise (left) and pull it out gently.
• 🧰 Remove the old bulb. Pull it straight out of the socket.
• 🧰 Install the new bulb. Push it straight into the socket until it clicks.
• 🧰 Reinstall the socket. Line it up, insert it, and twist clockwise (right) to lock it in place.
• 🧰 Test the new bulb. Turn on your hazard lights or use the turn signal to check it works.
• 🧰 Replace the access panel. Snap it back into place.

💡 Tips & Tricks

• 🧤 Wear gloves or use a tissue to handle the new bulb—oils from your skin can shorten its life.
• 🔄 If one blinker is out, the other might go soon. Consider replacing both sides together.
• 🛑 If the new bulb doesn't work, double-check it's seated firmly and the socket is locked in.
