How to change a tail lamp bulb on Renault Traffic 2013 model

TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLY AND /OR BACKUP, SIDEMARKER, STOP, TURN SIGNAL BULB REPLACEMENT

REMOVAL PROCEDURE

1. Open the liftgate.
2. Remove the screws from the tail amp.
3. Slide the tail lamp rearward in order to disengage it from the retainers on the rear body panel.
4. Disconnect the electrical connector from the tail lamp wiring harness.
5. Remove the tail lamp and side marker lamp sockets from the tail lamp, depressing the locking tab and turning counterclockwise.
6. Remove the bulbs from the tail lamp and the side marker lamp sockets, if replacing the bulbs.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1. Install the bulbs to the tail lamp and side marker lamp sockets, if removed.
2. Install the tail lamp and side marker lamp sockets to the tail lamp, turning clockwise until the locking tab is fully seated.
3. Connect the tail lamp electrical connector to the wiring harness.
4. Position the tail lamp retainer slots to the tabs on the rear body panel.
5. Install the tail lamp to the rear body panel, pressing into place until fully seated.
6. Install the tail lamp screws to the Taillamp.

NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

Tighten the tail lamp screws to 2 N.m (18 lb in).

7. Close the liftgate.

No tricks needed. Tail lamps are usually simply fitted and simply removed and it is a matter of changing over the bulbs and the holder(s) and ensuring the gasket is in place. The hardest part is often moving the upholstery, carpet or other lining aside for access.

1. Disconnect the tail/back up lamp harness connector from the from the body wiring harness.
2. Remove the tail/back up lamp assembly from the rear compartment lid.
3. While supporting the tail/back up lamp assembly, unplug the tail/back up lamp harness grommet from the rear compartment lid and remove the tail/back up lamp from the vehicle.
4. Remove the license plate lamp bulb from the lamp housing.

I know some Renaults such as the Megane have an access port within the wheel arch. You might try checking there. If there is one though, then it's likely easier to take the wheel off to get to it.
