Do you have to take the whole light assembly out to replace the reverse lights? And what about the two bulbs in the upper middle trunk, do you have to remove that whole thing under there to get to the lights?

I've been googling around but can't find any mustang specific tutorials.

Thanks, stangnet

There should just be a small twist off socket.

Twist off socket for what? The reverse lights?

I twisted off the little hook and removed the three or four push pins necessary to pull back the hard wall around the inside of the trunk which reveals about 4 or so bolts. It seems like you have to undo the bolts and remove the entire taillight assembly to get to the bulbs. Is this true?


The bolts are so long that i need those longer hollow sockets to remove the nuts (which i don't have) so i want to make sure that this is the correct process before i proceed.


-thanks, guys

use a 7/16 deep socket to take the nuts off i just did that the other day to paint the tail light, you might have to bump it for it to come loose, then change the bulbs




YES
