  • Open rear liftgate to access tail light assembly
  • Remove the 2 screws from the top of the tail light lens.

    Note: there may also be a 'friction clip' or two holding the lens - gently tug on the lens to release

  • Rotate bulb socket counterclockwise and remove from lamp assembly
  • Pull bulb straight out of socket and push in new bulb.

These steps are detailed, and illustrated in the Owners Manual (see "Related Questions")

I have had to replace both rear tail lights on my 2005 Ford Freestar. You have to open the back and take the screws out of the casing around the lens... there is three if I'm remembering correctly. pull it from the frame. (there are no screws on the outside it just pulls out straight. Have someone hit the brakes before you do this to know which one is out. I went to an autoparts store and had them find the bulbs for me but I installed them myself. you pull it straight out... there is not turning.. just wiggle it side to side and it will come out.
