How do you change a rear turn signal bulb in a 1990 Buick Reatta?

Answer 1

Open the trunk lid and pull the upholstery from the rear of the trunk. You will find white and black plastic wing nuts. Remove the white ones on the side you are working on and swing the lens assembly up. If you don't like standing on your head to work on the lights, remove all of the white and black wing nuts and pull the tail light assembly to the rear. Replace the bulbs. Jack

Answer 2

You can access the headlight connector from the back of the headlight, in the engine compartment. Remove the headlight connector. Take hold of the light bulb, push in and turn at the same time. Reverse the process to install the new headlight light bulb.

Answer 3

I have an 89' Reatta but it should be the same. You need to remove the entire back lighting panel--although it's much easier then it sounds. Open the trunk and look behind the carpet. You should find a bunch of plastic nuts that hold the lighting panel in place. Don't forget the two way on the outside corners. Then pull the light panel away from the car. It has retaining wires so it won't fall on you. Changing the lights is then an easy twist of the bulbs. Don't forget that there are 3 turn bulbs on each side.

Answer 4

You don't say what year your Sunfire is, but I can give you a generic answer. There might be a little confusion here (at least I'm confused!) as to whether you want to change a burned out bulb, or if you want to replace the entire tail light assembly.

In either case, look inside the trunk. You'll have to pull the carpet out of the way to get at the rear of the tail lights. The bulb change is basic. Twist out the lamp holder, replace the bulb and twist the holder back in place. Easy Peasy.

If you want to change out the entire tail light, I suspect that the answer will be obvious once you have the carpet out of the way. My Haynes manual doesn't seem to address this.
