Tail Stop Turn Lamp Bulb - Installation

BULB

Each rear lamp unit for this vehicle consists of two pieces. An outer rear lamp unit that is secured at the rear of each quarter panel includes either a single incandescent bulb or multiple Light-Emitting Diode (LED) units for the park (or tail) lamps, the brake (or stop) lamps and an incandescent bulb for the turn signal lamps. An inner rear lamp is secured on each outboard side of the liftgate outer panel adjacent to the outer lamp and also includes either a single incandescent or multiple LED units for the park (or tail) lamps as well as an incandescent bulb for the backup (or reverse) lamps. The incandescent bulbs are available for individual service replacement; however, if an LED unit is ineffective or damaged, the entire inner or outer rear lamp unit must be replaced.

OUTER LAMP

CAUTION: Always use the correct bulb size and type for replacement. An incorrect bulb size or type may overheat and cause damage to the lamp, the socket or the lamp wiring.

NOTE: In vehicles manufactured for domestic markets except with LED lighting, the outer rear lamp unit contains a single bulb (1) for tail/stop/rear side marker/turn signal functions. In vehicles manufactured for export markets except with LED lighting, the outer rear lamp unit contains two bulbs. They are the tail/stop/rear side marker (1) and the turn signal (2). The service procedures for each bulb are the same, only the bulb sizes and types may differ.
