Hi, I’m Mike from 1A Auto. We’ve been selling auto parts for over 30 years!

In this video, we are going to be removing an reinstalling the rear tail light bulbs in a 2010 Honda Pilot. If you need parts for your vehicle, click the link in the description and head over to 1aauto.com.

Open the rear lift gate. Now we're going to take these two 8mm screws out using an 8mm socket and extension and a ratchet. Pull that one out. Now, I'll pull the next one out. Pull that out. You can grab the light. We're just going to pull like that. It's two little pins right here, they're secured in there, so sometimes it takes a little bit of effort to pull it.

We're going to pull these bulbs out. This top one is a 7443, so reinstall that. Turn it to the right. This one turn to the left, this is the same 7443. There’s two lower bulbs. This one, and to replace this bulb you just pull it out. This is a 194. Stick that in, turn it to the right. This is the reverse light. Pull that one out. This is a 921. Reinstall, push it back in.

Get that lined up, push it in, and then turn to the right. Like that. Then we're going to, remember, line those pins up with those two holes. Line those two pins up. Now we'll install these 8mm screws. Use our ratchet, extension, and 8mm socket and snug these up. Remember it is plastic, so don't tighten them too tight. The process will be the same on the passenger side
