replace tail light bulb
Hello,
My daughter has a '92 Civic (runs great!) that has a burned out tail light, the one towards the center so when you open the trunk it goes up with the trunk. My son is using her car for his driving test tomorrow and DMV will not allow a car to be used if it has a burned out bulb. I bought a bulb (a pair actually) today and went to put it in. Do I need to unscrew the unit to access the bulb, or is there some easy pop in/pop out that I'm not seeing. Thanks for any help, my husband is away for the week and I'd hate to mess this up.
Thanks,
Mom

you have to remove the screw that holds on that little black plastic thing on the back of the headlight on the inside, and then you should be able to get to the bulb. All you do is twist it to get it out, and plug in the new one after pulling out the old. Should take you 5 min for both. Good luck to your son on the drivers test.
