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. An inner rear lamp is secured on each outboard side of the liftgate outer panel adjacent to the outer lamp.

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, the outer rear lamp unit (1) contains a bulb (2) for tail/stop/rear side marker/turn signal functions and a second bulb (3) behind a clear lens for an auxiliary backup lamp function. In vehicles manufactured for export markets, the tail/stop/rear side marker functions are performed by one bulb (2) and a separate turn signal bulb (3) behind an amber lens is used in place of the auxiliary backup bulb. The service procedures for each bulb are the same, only the bulb sizes and types may differ.

1. Align the base of the bulb with the appropriate bulb socket (2 or 3).
2. Push the bulb straight into the socket until the base is firmly seated.
