Hi, I’m Mike from 1A Auto. We’ve been selling auto parts for over 30 years!
To access the rear bolt of the tail light, we're going to pop off this piece of carpet just with your hand, and access this white plastic bolt and just unscrew it. Put that aside. For the harness on the back of the tail light, you want to press in on the tab on the top and the bottom. Remove this. You can see that it's one here and one here and you want to push in on both sides at once to pull this out of the housing.
To put the tail light back in, you're going to grab your harness, put it back into its socket until it clips in. Rest the tail light fully into its housing. You're going to take your plastic spring loaded bolt. Slide it in and screw it back in. The carpet panel that goes back into place after you screw in your bolt is actually labeled the side of the car and the direction. You're going to take the panel, hook it back in. You're all set.
