Tail lights on the back of vehicles are important for safety. Without them, at night, the driver of a vehicle approaching from behind will be unable to see that there is another vehicle is in its path and a car accident could result. With just a single tail light in operation, the approaching vehicle driver will be unable to determine the width of the vehicle and could think that something is an motorcycle when it is in fact an automobile. Again an accident is a possibility.

How do access the Tail lights on a 97 Chrysler Sebring convertible?

Removing the taillightsTo access the taillights one needs remove the taillights cover. To do this open the trunk, in the trunk are three plastic bolts that hold the taillights cover on. To have easier access to these bolts pull the trunk fabric a little away from the bolts. Unscrew these, then from the outside of the car pull the taillights cover toward you. Once the taillights cover is dislodged from its spot in the body of the car. You should have full access to all the individual lamps once you do this.
