how do you change a tail light bulb on a 2003 taurus? Just did it this morning on my 2002 Taurus SEL. Not as simple as it could or should be. First open the trunk lid and remove (unscrew) the black plastic nuts that hold the elastic webbing used to hold items tightly in the trunk (can be done by hand). Underneath that plastic nut holding the elastic webbing is one of the FIVE nuts that must be removed in order to pop out the tail light assembly. Remove that expanse of webbing from the screw stems and set it aside somewhere safe. Try to safely pull back the trunk upholstery fabric from the area of the tail light assembly(tail lights, backup lights, brake lights). You should now be able to see and get to the five nuts that hold on the assembly. The nuts are standard 7/16" with two located on the top, two on the bottom and the one that held the plastic webbing knob . Hold the tail light assembly securely from the outside as you remove all five nuts. There are some plastic guide that will help you when you slip it back into place from the outside. Now carefully pull the assembly straight out a few inches until you can reach the bulb wiring inside. You don't need to pull the assembly completely off the car. Each of the bulbs is held by its own harness and requires a simple 90 degree turn to get to the bulb. Replace the bulb(s) and check BEFORE you reassemble it! Then just reverse the removal steps to reassemble. Once you have invested this much time and effort into the process, I suggest you change all the bulbs at once ... too much work to have to do it again in a few weeks or months (or minutes). Have fun!
