How to replace tail light

My RX 300 leaked in the same spot. I had to replace the rubber gasket around the rear hatch lid. It stopped the leak.

Access to the tail light cluster should be through panels in the rear corners of the vehicle. Remove the panel and you can remove the tail light cluster to replace the bulbs. This is the position on most sedans, unless, like on pick-ups, the tail light lenses have screws which allow the lenses to be removed to change the bulbs.

it sounds like the bulbs are blown

YOU CAN BUY A HAYNES REPAIR MANUAL.IT HAS PHOTOS TO SHOW YOU AND TELL YOU HOW TO REPLACE PARK LIGHTS.

your best to get a manual from your local car parts store and do it according to their instructions,..your safer that way and you'll have a manual for other things that'll pop up and you'll want to take care of yourself,.....good luck, cracklin joe

The tall center light is located behind the upper hatch inside panel. There are two panels need to remove. One panel is on the right, the other on the left. To remove the panels you have to use flat screw driver to pry out the panel in several locations. (These panels are secured by several small metal clips.) Be careful to collect all these clips and replace them on the back of the panel. You will need these clips to replace the panel later on. After remove the panels, you will be able to locate the screws on the tall center stop light assembly. Remove those screws and cover. After replacing light bulb. Assemble everything in reverse order. Remember, the metal clips have to set on the back of the two panels not the car body.

open up the rear hatch and remove the panel in the corner you are replacing the blub and then you see small screws or nuts that you have to remove and it maybe the kind you just twist the blub out of the socket.

okay, are these lights on the rear body panel hatch?
