How do you replace 2002 Mazda miata tail light bulb?

Answer 1

1. Open the Trunk.
2. Remove the small black Phillips head screw connecting the top of the tail lamp assembly.
3. Remove the rear-facing carpet panels behind the tail light assembly, but removing the pop fasteners. Use a fingernail or small flathead screwdriver to lift the center pin, then pull the enter fastner out.
4. Once the carpeting panel is out, use a 10mm socket set to remove the gold/brass nut/bolt hardware. This will allow the tail lamp assembly to be removed, and the bulbs to be accessed.
