How do you change a rear tail light in a 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue?

Answer 1

This is something that's very easy to do. Open up your trunk. There should be a black knob right behind the tail light (if you have the cargo net the knob is the upper mount). Unscrew this and then pull the carpeting near the knob away from the metal directly behind the taillights. This will reveal two more knobs which you should then unscrew. Now the taillight should be easily pulled out. If you're looking to change a bulb simply look on the back side of the lens and locate the socket of the bulb that is out. To remove the the socket so you can reach the bulb twist the socket in one direction (I can't remember which way) and it should just pull out. To remove the bulb just pull the glass part away from the socket and it should come out. If it's possible use gloves or a towel to hold the new bulb when you install it because if you touch the new bulb with your bare hands it will leave behind the oils that our bodies naturally produce. Those oils can cause the bulb to fail prematurely. Then just follow the same steps in reverse and you're done.
