tailight bulb???
 

Bottom tailight on the right side is out, it is a brake light the one on the bottom in the bumper of the truck, how do i get in there to replace it, im hoping this is what the problem is, its funny thou cuz when i hit the key fob to lock the truck it flashes but when u hit the brake pedal nothing, WTF?? first of all how do i get in there??

Re: tailight bulb???
 

it is a dual filament bulb. that is why one circut works and other does not. To change them first lift the tail gate and you will see two torque screws on the insde door jam of each light housing. remove these screws and then you can see the door side of the light housing can gently be pulled forward about an inch or so. after you gently pull forward, you want to try and slide the light housing towards the inside (aka, towards the door or lift gate.) after you slide towards the inside you will feel the entire light housing come loose. Just pull forward and twist the bulb socket and pull out. replace bulb and reverse process. all the bulbs in the rear are 3157 bulbs. Hope this helps. If you need any more help or need some photos or something just let me know.

Thanks

Crucial bit. The light housing clips onto the outer edge of the body panel.

u guys realize iam referring to the light in the plastic bumper right???

Re: tailight bulb???
 

um um um :notallthere:
You did not tell us you had the
optional lights in the bumper.

Hell the last time you were on here you were selling
your older Hummer with the Carbon Dash and buying an
08.
So what do you have now?

If in bumper it is most likely an aftermarket setup.

Some came with brake and turn signal but, sum were just turn signal.

Depending on how the person wired it to harness below he could have had both, only turn or brake only.

Re: tailight bulb???
 

Watch who you're calling a homo and a retard. If I'm not mistaken it seems as if you were the one who didn't know how to change a freaking bulb. So go fvck YOURSELF!

WTF Assh*le?:lame:

You are going to pick a fight with ME
FuKK You too.:notallthere:

You did say you were selling your Hummer
Hell you could not figure out how to adjust a Headlight either
There are several others here who also poked at you since we
had no idea what you had or why you had such trouble with a taillight
bulb.

Um, reach up from underneath, rotate bulb socket and remove. Likely the socket is all corroded and will need to be replaced as well.

HUMTECH you might have to draw a picture of that extremely technical procedure for MonsterMatt to understand, for he is a Mongoloid:D

person here that might be my fault.

poked as much fun at you too but I see that you do not have the
ballz to call them out too. :notallthere:
