Change tail light in 2005 ford freestyle?

Answer 1

After looking at a couple of diy sites, I found that one must:

1. Remove the two screws at the outside back of the tail light cover

2. loosen the tail light cover from the two clips at the front of the cover by gently prying it toward the rear. Fingernails worked for me. The bottom clip seemed easier. If it is too tight, try a screwdriver near the bottom, then near the top prying toward the rear of the car.

3. the top light is the backup lamp (white), and the bottom light is the brake/turn/rear light (red).

4. rotate the lamp 1/3 turn to remove and replace.

5. test.

6. replace the cover by aligning the screw holes then pushing the cover into the clips and replacing the screws.
