I had to replace a stop light bulb (7443) and went to work on it. Service manual very limited in show what to do but enough.
Note: those who have replaced rear lights with LED ones can prob. comment.
Anyway, I removed the finisher, removed the two bolts, and pulled.
Crack... on the opposite side of the bolts are two plastic alignment pins? that cracked. Damn. Then I went knowing this to also replace the otherside for the heck of it. Armed with the location of these great plastic pins, I used my trim removal tool. Again crack.
Are these pins a one-time in factory connection or what!?
Anyone else get the rear light case off without breaking anything?
