removing the reverse light

cojaro · 05-10-2006, 06:12 PM

OK, I thought a simple twist and pull would be enough to take out the reverse lights plug thingie (the part the bulb goes into), just like the turn signal light.

wrong

anyone know what it takes or how to remove the reverse light? I'm trying to switch the bulbs out.

(I have a coupe, btw)

Why do you want to get rid of your reverse lights?

He is not removing them, he is switching the bulbs.

My thread is about the turn signal bulbs, but I assume the reverses are the same way. I'll go check right now.

Edit: Nope. The reverse bulbs look like they don't come out nearly as easily as the turns.

The wire has a tab you push to release, but I can't figure out how to get the bulb socket to come loose either.
