Tail light replacement
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!

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.
