budmaca1 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I need to replace the left rear brake light in the housing at my rear windshield, which is out and is giving me a warning light on the dashboard. I cannot figure out how to open the plastic housing to access the bulb in order to replace it. I tried pulling on it, putting the blade of a flat screwdriver underneath, etc, but cannot get the housing open. How do you get at the bulbs? I have a 1996 ES 300.

It's called "pull harder". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capnfred Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I used a pair of paint can openers as hooks to pull it really hard, when you put it back together put a dab of grease on the tabs, the next time it will come off easier, I had the same problem, silly little car lit.... checked all the bulbs, could not find out what was causing it, totally spaced the third eye...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
