Figured it out. OPen the Tailgate and look!
Remove the taillight assembly to gain access to the bulbs
You just have to pull back the trim in the trunk to access the fasteners for the taillight assembly. Once you remove the taillight assembly just replace the bulb.
Remove bedliner( if applicable). You must remove the taillight framing to get to bulbs. There are two screws located behind the taillight, that must be unscrewed to loosen the taillight frame from the truck body. Remove the two screws via the truckbed side and framing will loosen and bulbs can be replaced.
Lenses are not replaceable on the Malibu, you have to replace the entire taillight assembly
Lower the tailgate, and you will see the bolts on the bed side of the taillight,remove the bolts. there are two of them and pull out tailight assembly.
There are two bolts that hold the tail lights in place. First, open your tailgate. If you have a bedliner, the two screws are behind it. If you have a bed extender, the bolts that secure the taillight are the same bolts that secure the brackets for the bed extender. Refer to your owners manual, page 8-35. Good luck.
how do you replace a taillight on a Honda 2002 Civic?
I believe you have to unscrew a couple bolts on the inside of the truck bed to get the taillight assembly off the truck then you can unscrew the light sockets and replace the burnt out bulb
The entire taillight comes off as an assembly, and is not designed to be taken apart. To change a light bulb: 1. Inside the trunk look on the back side of the taillight near the quarter panel. There will be 3 nuts, the center nut holds the taillight assembly in place, remove that nut. 2. Pull the assembly rearward enough to bring the stud out from the header panel, then pull the tab out of the license plate light assembly. 3. Remove the socket that needs a new bulb and replace the bulb, then slide the taillight assembly back in place and put the nut back on.
rear you use a torx driver to remove taillight assembly screws. them replace bulb.
