02' Brake Light Replacement Help!
 

I have a 02' V6 Accord 2dr coupe and my left break light is out. I know this is way simple but I can't figure it out and I don't have the owner's manual. I bought the bulb just need help putting it in. Thanks in advance!

It appears that you have to remove the trunk trim (carpet stuff) and completely remove the tail light assy from the whole car just to change the bulb, do not overtighten the nuts when you put it back together. Also make sure you have the same number bulb, you may get a bulb check light if you put in a non specific bulb for your car.

Didn't know you had to remove the whole tail light to change a bulb. I know on the 01 accord sedan you can just take out the bulb.

Mitchell on Demand says go the long route, let me pull up your year model and check the directions.


EDIT
I think I need to get my glasses checked, pull the carpet back and maybe you can change the bulb, there are no directions for that, is there not a small cut out directly in front of the tail light assy to change the bulbs, the carpet may just flip up. I may have a reference for an owners manual. I will go check that now too.

Did you manage to get the bulb replaced. I have the same problem with a 2000 Accord and was wondering how to remove the trunk trim/carpet stuff to get at the bulb?
