Introduction
This guide will walk you through the short and easy steps of replacing an expired brake light bulb in your 2016-2021 Camaro. A flat-head screwdriver and set of pliers are highly recommended for the repair, but not necessary. A new bulb will be needed to replace the old one.
Tools
-
-
Using either the button on your vehicle's key fob, or the button on the driver's side door, open the trunk.
-
Go to the rear of the vehicle and lift the rear trunk lid until it reaches its highest position and locks out.
-
-
-
Using a spudger, gently pry the covers for the pop-rivets out.
-
Remove the pop-rivets themselves by inserting a spudger underneath them and prying up.
-
-
-
After the fastener caps have been removed, twist the knob on top of the cover counterclockwise to remove it.
-
-
-
With the housing assembly open, gently lift the housing cover from the taillight assembly and set it aside.
-
-
-
Locate the reverse bulb socket; it will be identifiable by a wire running from the back of the tail light.
-
Gently grab the reverse bulb socket with your pliers, then gently turn it counterclockwise for one-quarter of a rotation.
-
-
-
Pull the socket out from the assembly, and pull out the old bulb.
-
Insert your new bulb by gently pressing it into the socket.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
