Tools and Materials:
- Replacement light bulbs
- Screwdriver
- Replacement bulb holder (if necessary)
Instructions:
1. Open the Tailgate:
- To access the rear bulbs, open the tailgate/rear door of your Frontera.
2. Locate the Taillight Assembly:
- On your Frontera, the rear bulbs are usually located within the taillight assembly.
3. Remove Tail Light Assembly Screws:
- Use a screwdriver to remove the screws that hold the taillight assembly in place. They are usually Phillips-head screws.
4. Disconnect Electrical Connectors:
- Once you have removed the screws, carefully pull out the taillight assembly from its housing. Disconnect any electrical connectors attached to the taillight assembly to fully remove it.
5. Replace Faulty Bulbs:
- Inspect the old bulbs to identify which ones need replacement. To remove a faulty bulb, turn it counterclockwise (usually) and gently pull it straight out of its socket.
6. Install New Bulbs:
- Now, insert the replacement bulbs into the corresponding bulb sockets. Turn the bulbs clockwise until you feel them securely in place.
7. Reconnect Electrical Connectors:
- Once the new bulbs are installed, reconnect the electrical connectors to the taillight assembly.
8. Reinstall Taillight Assembly:
- Carefully slide the taillight assembly back into its housing and align it with the mounting screw holes.
9. Screw in Tail Light Assembly:
- Replace and tighten the screws that you removed earlier to secure the taillight assembly.
10. Test the Lights:
- Once you have installed the new bulbs and reassembled the taillight assembly, close the tailgate and turn on your vehicle's lights. Check that the replacement bulbs are working properly.
Note:
If the bulb holder itself is damaged or not working, you may need to replace the entire bulb holder along with the bulb. Ensure you use the correct bulb type and wattage as specified in your Frontera's owner's manual.
