How to Change the Rear Brake Lights on a Dodge Stratus
- 1). Open the trunk of your Stratus and pull the trunk liner away from the taillight assembly. Pull the electrical connection off the connector on the bulb.
- 2). Pull the three clips free that secure the light assembly. There are two on the outside edge of the light assembly and one on the inside edge.
- 3). Pull the light assembly out of the mounting area. Grasp the bulb and turn it counter-clockwise to remove it from the light assembly. Pull the bulb straight out of the socket and discard it.
- 4). Push the new bulb into the socket. Insert the bulb into the taillight assembly and turn it clockwise until it is secure. Push the wiring harness connection into place until it clicks.
- 5). Replace the taillight assembly in the mounting area. Push the three retaining clips into place. Replace the trunk liner.
- 6). Repeat the process on the opposite light if needed. Close the trunk and test the lights.
