How do you change the rear stop light bulb on a 2002 Jeep Liberty passenger side?

Answer 1

Just did this last night! Open the rear door. From the inside of the door look through the crack between the door and the inside of the tail light assy. There you will see two "star" head screws. You need a star screw driver at leat 6" long to reach them. After removing the two screws come around to the outside and pull the lamp assy from the body. There are two clips holding it to the body and it doesn't come loose easily! After removing the lamp from the body the top bulb unscrews from the lamp assy and pulls out. The replacement bulb # is 3157. .

Straight from the dealer, you want to unscrew the light first, then pull it straight out. It might sound light it is breaking, but it is just the plastic pins rubbing the metal. You may need to use a flat head to pry the light away from the body enough so you can get your fingers back there. Remember pull it straight out, and do not worry, it goes on easier then it comes off.

Answer 2

Remove two screws located on the inner side tail light assembly w/ trunk open.

Pull taillight assembly straight off; you may need to utilize a wedge to gently work the top and bottom of assembly away from vehicle on outer side.

Once removed, twist the top light cover counter clockwise and pull to access lightbulb.

It is also best to not do this on a bright day as it is difficult to see whether or not the brake light is functioning properly.

Answer 3

um,,remove the back panel inside the trunk that's held in by 4 plastic screws, and the lower trim piece along the base of the trunk held in by 3 push pins...reomoving these allows access to the rear bulbs tail lights.

Answer 4

You need to pop the hatch and there will be 2-3 Phillips head screws, remove them, tilt the lens out and then the bulb holders should twist out.
