I got new rear lights for my scion TC. How do i take the old ones out and put the new in???

 

Need to remove the rear bumper

 

take off the rear bumper (2 screws up top, 2 in the wheel wells)

open up those little side pieces in the hatch (the pieces you remove to gain access to the taillight bulbs) and there you'll find that the taillight is held in place by 3 10mm nuts. remove those.

taillight should pull out now and once it does, disconnect all the wiring and you're good to go

 

okay got that done.. now i started it up and they arent working!! oh no... now what?

 

What kind of tail lights did u get and did u plug in everything

 

You mean to tell me.....in order to replace the rear taillights in a tC, you have to remove the bumper? That seems excessive??!!??

Thanks,

yes... however you don't need to remove it completely.

 

yeah it's kind of a pain in the butt to partially take the bumper off. On my Civic u just took the nuts off in the back it was simple.

these instructions were perfect...the hardest part is getting the bumper loose

 

the guides that they posted are the ones i used... but if you dont have the TYC tails... and you have other brands... there was this reverse wiring thing... when i installed mine... i had to swap two wires to get the brake and tail to work correctly... didnt think i had to do that... but i blew a fuse to find out...

 

try these
