Open the rear door. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws securing the trunk sill plate (threshold bar).
Step 2: Remove Weather Seal & Side Panel
Pull back the weather stripping seal near the tail light. Use a trim tool to gently pry off the interior side access panel.
Step 3: Remove Mounting Nuts

Step 4: Pull Out Tail Light
From the outside, firmly pull the tail light assembly straight back to release it from the body.
Step 5: Disconnect Plugs
Twist and remove the bulb sockets or disconnect the main harness plugs. (Note: You may need to transfer your reverse bulb if the new light doesn't include one).

Step 6: Wiring Connections
Connect the new tail light harness to the factory plugs.
Important: Pay attention to the positive (+) and negative (-) poles. If the light doesn't turn on, flip the plug 180 degrees.

Align the new tail light and push it into place. Secure it by reinstalling the three 10mm nuts from the inside.
（Before reinstalling the interior trim, turn on the ignition and test all functions (Running Light, Brake, Turn Signal, Reverse). Ensure no hyper-flashing occurs.）
Step 8: Reassemble Trim
Reinstall the interior side panel, push the weather seal back into place, and screw in the sill plate.
