Default Just some simple instructions please...replacing bulbs!!!

So I went and bought the LED bulb kit from CorvetteMods but still can't figure out (without breaking something) how you open the various bulb compartments to remove the old bulbs and install the new LED bulbs.


Want to replace courtesy footwell lights, side marker lights, glove box light, rear licence plate lights, rear hatch lights and rear view mirror lights.

Can anybody give me basic instructions for doing this please????

Thanks

I can help on a few of these.
Rear side markers, Remobe the outer tail light on each side and you can access the bulb from there and the bolts that hold the lens on.

Lic Plate lights, I think you can remove the plate and the backup lights and have access to them, Not sure if there are screws you can access from the outside.

The rear cargo light assm will just pop out, Do one side of the light and then the other.

Hi There,
The back up lights. I removed the brake light(torx screwdriver required) on each side closest to the l/ plate. ( The shop manual says to remove the license plate assy.)You have to reach in, then turn your hand towards the rear of the car & turn the light socket c/ clockwise. The wiring is long enough to come back out of the b/light access.Then install your led light.Reverse the procedure to install.No experience on the other lights, but would not expect any problems.

I've got the same kit. I got all of them done EXCEPT the 2 rear view mirror lamp bulbs. How do you pop these out without marring the plastic of the mirror case?

Thanks

Just did the license plate lights last night. There are 2 torx screws for each with easy access in plain sight.
