Tail lights

[teeholt]

to change the rear bulbs in a 1989 vette do you have reach up between the frame and gas tank to get to it? It seems awful difficult as you can only get 1 hand on it? and even that is difficult?

Strange engineering?

Help???

Try taking the license plate and frame out then go for the bulb from that hole.

Well I can honestly say this is the first time I am happy I dont have any advice on the situation. I hope everything works out okay for you. Also I hope I do not have to try to change my tail lights anytime soon.


Good Luck

The inner bulbs you can reach after you remove the licence plate, the outer once you reach up between the skirting and the muffler. (It would be great if there was a mechanically inclined skinny armed 12 year old issued with each vette to reach bulbs, under the dash, behind the heads, etc...)


One thing I found is to give the fasteners of the licence plate a shot of wd40 and have a little snack before I tried to remove the plate. Gave it some time to soak in and make removing the screws a lot easier.

Yup, pretty much
