How do you replace the taillight on a 1995 buick lesabre?

Answer 1

For turn, reverse and stop lights, the whole light assembly is removed. From inside the trunk look for 3 threaded posts that are behind the assembly. You will need to use a deep socket to access the nuts. It is 10mm if I remember correctly. Once removed, the individual lights are removed with a quarter turn of their holder. Reverse process to assemble. For the license and "running" lights, the whole license frame assembly is removed. You will see about 9 or 10 threaded rods behind the assembly. Use a deep 10mm socket to remove the nuts. Once all of the nuts are off, the assembly will come off easily, but you do not have a lot of play in the wires. Turn it over by bringing the top over and slipping the bottom under the wires. You can then access the lights. Assembly is the reverse. Tip: the lights for the license, etc. are an odd size. P161 I think. A good auto parts store will have them, but not Walmart. Replace them all and buy extras to have on hand.
