Hey guys, today I’m going to replace the trunk lid tail light on a 2005 Honda Accord Sedan. The reason I am replacing this tail light is becaused it was cracked and caused a massive water leak in the trunk. Check this out…
Difficulty: Easy
Estimated time: 5 Minutes
Tools necessary:
- 8mm socket w/ratchet
Steps
1. Remove the brake light and reverse light wiring harnesses.
2. Use an 8mm socket to remove the three nuts holding the tail light in place. The first nut is inside a circular cutout and the two others are on the edge.
3. Carefully remove the old tail light from the trunk and install the new tail light onto the trunk.
4. Reinstall the the three nuts holding the tail light in place using an 8mm socket.
5. Reinstall the brake light and reverse light wiring harnesses.
6. Enjoy your new tail light.
