My right taillight is burnt out. I have the replacement bulb, but a quick look in the trunk sez this could be a lot of effort.

Any help here? Should I wait until I have another right rear bulb to replace it?

If I should replace it now, how do I do it?

thanx,
Don

Not sure if it helps or not.

I have not changed any bulbs in the taillights before. However, I did do the swap from my 92-94' style taillights to 96' ones a while ago.

I am a retard when it comes to mechanics but I was still able to take off both taillight housings and replace them with two new ones in less than 30mins.

when replacing a burnt out bulb, its always a good idea to replace all the lights at once while you already have it out. as for your question, its totally up to you if you want to replace it now or later. the tailight can be removed by removing the grey liner right behind the tailights. from there you need a 10mm socket to remove the four nuts holding the tailight in place. just twist off the socket for each corresponding bulb and replace the bulb. shouldnt take you more than 15-20 minutes.
