Replacing bulb for the side marker light
 

How do you replace the bulb on the red "oval" side marker light? It is probably easy, but it didn't seem obvious to me how you access this bulb. Also, what is the replacement bulb?

I'm trying to get my car to pass inspection.

Thanks

Take out the taillight nearest the marker you need to change. Reach inside and twist the lamp unit counter-clockwise. The bulb is a 194

Here's a pic that should help

:iagree: with DeeGee. Not hard to do once you take the taillight out.

Thanks guys!

Do I need more description on the 194 bulb? Do I just walk into Auto Zone and say I need a 194 bulb and they know exactly what I need?

Greg

The zone should know what a 194 bulb is.

Very popular bulb. Used in most interior sockets, and outside marker lights. You can pick these up everywhere....even convienience stores.

What about the front side marker lights. Any gouge on R&R light bulb?

It's also a 194:thumbs:

I know the bulb number, How do I get to it?

This is the procedure to change the lamp unit. Take a look at the pictures and you'll see where the sidelight bulb fits. You can go in from above or below.

The marker light bulb is next to the turn signal bulb

Hmm... not for all I guess.

I guess, some would have to add a step involving wire cutters :rofl:

Or they could do it your way :thumbs:

2003 Z06 rear side light installation
 

I'm trying to install a new rear side light on my 2003 Z06. I've got all the parts and have installed, in place, the rear self threading nut. I can't reach to front one to screw it down. Any help here?

Remove outer tail lights and reach in, or remove the license plate and plate holder and reach in. Deep socket also helps. Do not over tighten or you'll break the stud off.

Thanks, Bill, I'll give it a try.

Good luck Joe :thumbs:

For the rear markers I reached up from under the car and changed them out. Wish I had seen this post first as I had just had the tail lights out to put new halo's in. Would have saved me some time.

That worked great, thanks for the tip!

That's great Joe glad to you out.
