EXTERIOR LAMPS
TAIL LAMPS
Various methods are employed to remove and
install the components of tail lamp assemblies. Figure
28 will provide a quick reference for performing the
basic service operations for each style.
Tail lamp bulbs can be replaced by removing the
plastic wing nuts which retain the lamp assemblies to
the rear end panel and then removing the lamp
assembly.
Do not rework or alter the reflective surface of
tail lamps or side marker lamps. Replace defective
Fig. 29 - Installing Side Marker Lamp parts with new service replacement parts.
EXTERIOR LAMP SEALING
Care should be exercised to prevent waterleaks at
the tail lamp area when sealing surfaces are disturbed.
Damaged gaskets should be replaced.
If new gaskets are not installed, the use
of sealer
(body caulking compound or equivalent) is
recommended at critical areas and where the old
gaskets have taken a set.
SIDE MARKER LAMPS
Some styles have a rear quarter side marker lamp
which operates in conjunction with the tail lamp
circuit. Figure
29 shows the stud and nut method of
retention used to retain the side marker lamp to the
body. Other styles use a wrap around tail lamp
assembly which doubles as a side marker lamp.
