Rear combination light assembly contains three bulbs. Two bulbs are single-filament and are used in hazard/turn signal and backup light circuits. Third bulb is a dual filament bulb; one filament functions as brake light and other as tail light. A plastic bulb holder mounts three lamps and associated wiring. Bulb holder can be removed from inside vehicle for bulb replacement.
If you can't get to the back of the light through the trunk, you have to remove the light to change the bulb from the rear.
you don't replace the tail light you just replace the bulb in it
Remove the tail light assembly (as I recall, it attaches with a couple of screws and is clipped to the body). Remove the bulb holder, replace the bulb, reassemble.
You open the trunk and remove the plastic wingnut screw on the backside of the tail light and replace the bulb and put the nut back on...very easily done without tools...
This is because the tail light bulb has a different element in the bulb. Just replace the bulb and that will fix the problem.
Remove tail light housing. Remove lamp. Replace lamp. Replace tail light housing.
take the two screws out. the back of the light is connected with a rubber plug un hooked it an pull off the light,twist the bulb out of the scoket. my advise replace all thre bulbs
Open the entire back hatch, and unscrew casing, and replace bulb. Now redo what you've undone.
Replace the light bulb. Tail lights are usually dual filament, 2 filaments in one bulb.

Turn you high beams on and check your tail light. If its brighter, you have a head light bulb as a tail light bulb. 97-02 are the only ones that should do this. Find a tail light bulb and replace.(I couldn't believe it either).
Remove carpet inside trunk that covers tail ligh assembly, then unbolt tail light assembly, remove the assembly and bulb fixture of the bulb you want to replace, replace bulb and re-install in reverse order.
