Lexus Is 300 Tail Light

[D-double]

Does any one know how to replace the tail/brake light on the IS 300 or do I have to pull out the whole light in order to do it.

Open your trunk

There are two circular clips that you need to take out so that you can access the screws. Once you get those off. Slightly lift up and it will start comming out.

DO NOT PULL DOWNWARD

Pull it a little up and to the left for the left housing, or right housing. It should all come off. There will be a big circle that you have to turn. and then you will get access to the light bulb.

Bartkat,

Is the right process for the bulbs next to the license plate?

The lights on the trunk lid, yes.
