I need help removing the housing of the brake lights so I can replace the bulbs for the brake/turn signal on my 02 Mercury Mountaineer.

Many vehicles use fasteners from the inside of the vehicle. To access the back of the lense you probably have to remove trim parts and you shouldn't have to remove the lense to replace the bulb. Try not to touch the glass of bulbs. Use paper handling the new ones as the oils from your hand can cause early failure.

That's mandatory with halogen headlight bulbs. If a bulb has blown and you believe they are the same age it's best to do both sides as they generally go close to the same time, T

Open the rear hatch. There are 2 phillips head screws beside the light housing. Remove these. Then pull the light assembly away from the body. It may be a little hard to get it out, but it will come out. Then twist the light socket out of the assembly and remove bulb.



Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds
