Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we are going to show you how to service the inner taillight or the trunk-lid-mounted light, which is actually the backup light. This is a 2000 Chevy Cavalier, same for any 2000 to 2002. If you're just looking to change the bulb, we show you that, and you don't need any tools for that. If you do need to replace the whole assembly because of damage, you'll need a 13mm socket with a ratchet and extension.
If you're just looking to change the bulb, it's easy enough. Reach up in with your trunk lid open, turn counterclockwise, and the backup light all comes down. Pull it out and push the new one back in. If you're looking to change the whole assembly, there are three nuts that hold the non, to write inside and one outside their. The three nuts are 13mm, so I'm using a, we're using a 13mm socket with a ratchet and extension, and you can probably, except for this one nut here, might be a little difficult to get to with a wrench, so having that socket ratchet extension is usually the best tool. Okay, to take it off, it pulls right off. A new one, pretty much easy enough. Put it right back down on, and then start your routine mm nuts in place and tighten them up. You don't want to over-tighten them. You just want them on there nice and firm.
