WI84

Anybody know how to change the taillight bulbs in an '84? I looked in the owners manual and it said to reach the inboard through the opening behind the license plate and the outboard from underneath. I can't reach more thn a few inches going in through this way. Just wondering if there was a trick to it. Thanx.

Hire a small child! Use 3 bottles of vaseline and coat your arms. Hit your brakes hard and get rear ended, then insurance will replace them. Seriously!

I'm not built like Popeye but I considered all of the above!

LOL!!!!!! I know what you mean! I figured I needed an arm about an inch in diameter, 4 feet long with at least 4 elbows. i may have to take it into the shop and let them try it. Thanx

I thought someone would drop in by now with a tip that is much easier, guess there isn't one!

Remove the entire inboard lens fixture and reach in through that opening to get to the outboard light.

Sky Vette,
How do I remove the inboard one. I'm ready to try anything at this point. Thanx for the help.

If you would use the search feature you would find a step by step with pics I posted not more than 2 weeks ago.

You're very welcome. Don't forget, the search can be a valuable tool.

For those not steeped in C4 design history- The heater core placement, oil pressure sending unit and the tail light arrangement were designed by the same man.

remove the rear license plate. reach in and remove the bulb. Now to get to the outer ones, remove the inner lights plastic lenses. 2 10 mm bolts. remove the lenses and use the openings to remove the outers.
