Changing a brake light

That's tough. You need to remove the plastic liner to get access to the connectors:
Remove all black screws off the plastic liner.
Remove small plastic cover at middle brake light using a small flat screw-driver.
Remove the yellow screw and the 3 black ones. This will relief the middle brake box.
You can unplug it (quarter-turn anti-clockwise) to ease further tasks.
Unclip the two narrow plastic covers on the side of the hatch back. Proceed bottom to top. There are 3 clipping slots. I broke the middle one on each...
Now you can unclip the big liner: there are 4 or 6 clipping slots at the bottom only. When you feel there is no more clip engaged, push the liner up. Unclipping is the toughest... Don't be affraid! There are screws if you brake one, anyway.
Enjoy the Korean engineering as I just did!

Open the back hatch look mid wad along the seal and see 2 small phillips screwa remove the 2 screws and light will slid to the back tilt and twist light scockets counter clockwise 1/4 turn and pull out. Pull bulb stright out and replace with new 3157LL pushing stright in. reinstall plugs with new bulb and twist 1/4 turn clokwise. slid lens back in to place and line 2 small mounts look like points in to holes, aline holes for phillips screws and put the screws back in.

there are 2 set screws in the ends of the light, remove these 2 screws, open hatch and look where the wire runs pull rubber grommet seal and disconnect wire at connector, careful that other end does not pull back in, i tie string on it before disconnecting so i cant loose connector inside. then close hatch and carefully pull up 3rd light (it is held by double sided sticky tape) clean surface with wd40 and then windex to remove goo from old tape put wire through on new 3rd light and connect wires, peal covers off sticky tape align press down and replace screws. suggest ordering 3rd light from internet it is lot cheaper than GM

1. Remove 2 plugs attaching liner to body to right/left of left/right light assembly. 2. Gently pull back liner to expose rear of light assembly. 3. Remove three 10mm nuts from exposed bolts. 4. Assembly now held in place by a plug in assembly that goes into a white plastic plug that extends into trunk under single bolt [See no. 3). 5. Pull to rear with wiggle movement to pull out plug. Takes a little while.

I don't know this van but many tail light assembly's have a couple of screws you remove then a couple of snap clips. So after you remove the screws you gently pry the assembly off with a slim pry tool.

1. Pop the trunk
2. Remove the two Phillips-head screws holding the cover on
3. Using a slotted screwdriver, pry the cover away from the side of the vehicle (carefully!)
4. Twist the bulb seat away from the cover, a 1/3 turn counterclockwise.
5. Pull the old bulb out; discard according to any local laws
6. Push new bulb in
7. Test both your turn signal functions and brake light functions!!!!!
8. Return bulb assembly to cover; twist 1/3 turn clockwise to reattach it
9. Push tail light assembly clips into the seats on the side of the vehicle
10. Replace the two Phillips-head screws holding the cover on
11. Close the trunk; clean up

left tail light is not real. Have a look under boomper. Ther is no kable. Is only one tile light in most of cars.

open trunk,

remove felt liner from rear of trunk, (liner directly behind rear lights in side trunk) should be 4 plastic Phillips head screws. Loosing screws, then slowly peel liner away. You will see 3 nuts on each side, removing these nuts will loosing the rear light lenses, so you can pull the lense away from the body from the out side to gain access to the license plate bulbs. Re-install in reverse order. While in there I would recommend replacing your brake light and reverse light bulb. Hey your already in there might as well do a little preventive maintance.

Brake lights were easy... open hatch you will see 2 lil circle covers with a notch out of the bottom for removal... i used a flat head to remove these then used a phillips head screw drive to remove the two screws behind the covers... pull out unit and you will see where the bulb goes... pull that out and just put the bulb in. It was sooo very easy... thanks Kim

If you are still looking for the resolution, it's really pretty simple. It is highly recommended that you remove one light assembly at a time, thus allowing you to have a good guide when repositioning the assembly back on the vehicle body. Yes, the only way to get to the burned out bulb in the taillight is to remove the whole darn thing! The bulb burns out every 4-5 months, so I have become good at it...Here goes:

1. Open trunk. Look for small (3" diameter) cutouts in the fabric panel in the trunk liner. They are identical and appear next to the taillight assemblies, on the side, not behind the taillight.
2. Gently use a flat blade screwdriver and pry them open. These cutouts are attached to the inner trunk liner fabric, so be gentle.
3. Notice the phillips head screw inside the opening. Unscrew it slowly, making sure it doesn't drop between the chassis and the trunk liner. Remove the screw.
4. Place soft towel on the outside of the car under the taillight assembly, to prevent scratching the car bumper.
5. Gently grab both sides of the taillight assembly from the outside and pull away from the car (rear direction. Be careful not to pull too hard, or the wiring harness behind the assembly may break.
6. You can now access all lamp in the taillight assembly. Change the bulbs as needed. Also, if you can vacuum or clean the dirt on the chassis as well as on the back side of the taillight assembly, you'll feel better later :-)
7. Placing the taillight assembly back in its place is a bit tricky. It seems to go back easily, but the rubber lining nearest to the trunk opening and where the phillips head screw is, must be placed exactly right or water will leak behind the assembly.
8. Screw in the phillips head screw, but don't overtighten it. You will need to open it every 4-5 months to replace another bulb (its an Audi-VW plan to sell more bulbs).
9. Snap the trunk liner caps back in place and voila, you have done it.
