You will obviously have to disconnect, and remove the battery,to gain
access to the bulb. I'll warn you straight off, that it is not something a
novice will want to mess with,since messing with the bulb spring will
try the patience of the best. I own an 04' Focus,and it's a complete
nightmare to change the bulbs. Good luck.

I was trying to change the inside trunk bulb , not the third brake lite! Put in a new buld it would not lite.

Did you find the fuse that the owners manual tells you is 4 the trunk lite?? If its not the fuse and the light it has 2 B the wiring somewhere. Check the bulb socket with a volt meter to make sure you have voltage at the socket itself with the trunk hood up obviously. It could also be the actuator switch. Good luck!!

Replace right front turn signal bulb

You may be able to access it from the engine compartment, or from under the car. There's a twist-out buld socket - (twist about an 1/4 quarter turn to the left) - then pull striaght back. If not accessable that way remove the light cover/lens and then the light unit - there should be enough slack in the wires to pull the assembly forward alittle to remove buld socket.

Changing the headlights

Try not to touch the buld as you do the installation. There is a access cover in the back of the head lamp. This gives you access to the headlamp. Now when you get to the light buld and socket turn counterclockwise.Then the light bulb wil come out of its socket.From here disconnect the electrical connection.Now for the installation connect the electrical socket to the headlamp bulb.Install the buld in the socket,by rotating socket clockwise locking the retaining tabs to the housing,install cover test the light and you are done2_29_2012_7_31_02_am.gif

How to replace instrument panel light buld for 2000 pathfinder

Hi.

You need to undo the instrument cluster to replace the lights. After undoing the screws and removing the trim cover be very careful unplugging connectors at the back. They are quite easy to break. Please refer to diagram below.

Right rear brake light out

Open the back hatch and (if no screws on the outside of light cover) and look for a "door" or door panel that covers the inner side of the lights. Once this is off, find the brake light buld, twist and pull,or just pull out depending on bulb type. Put new bulb in, put door/cover back on, check brake light.

How do I change the rear stop( Park) light? I have difficult time to remove the cover of the light?

Change the bulb from the inside of the trunk.

Invest in a Haynes or Chilton's manual for referrence, it helps.

Inside the trunk, left or right, you should see the wires going to the light. There will be a connector holding the bulb in place. Remove the buld by turning it right or left to release.

Good luck and don't forget to vote.
