Removing tail light on IS 300 sportcross - 2004 Lexus IS 300

No I recommend go to a salvage yard

Not clear on make or model. Generally the tail light assembly is accessible from the trunck. May have to unscrew or remove bracket to gain access. Most lens covers are held in place by series of clips. Carefully remove clips and the existing lens should come out. May need second person to position replacement lens cover from outside while you secure from inside trunck.

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.

some cars you have to remove the tail light assembly to do it, the best way is open your trunk and see if you have access to the light bulbs, you have to twist them to take them off, good luck

You may have a fried fuse. Look in your owners manual to find out which fuse it is in the fuse box diagram. If that is the problem make sure to use the same amperage fuse to replace the burned one with. I fried fuse is usually a sign that you have a short somewhere. But they can also fry for other reasons such as excess moisture somewhere. Sometimes they just burn from age and fatigue. It may solve it to just replace the fuse, but if there really is a short, the new fuse will fry too.

take your battery terminal off and clean it out. good luck!!!

open truck. remove access cover on tailight assembly. Turn the plastic tail light plastic bulb holder 1/4 turn, pull out burned bulb.

check you tail bulbs as you have a broken circuit

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.

First you need to lift the hatch. There are two screws under plastic caps. Remove the caps and you will be able to unscrew these screws. Carefully using a flat screw driver to pry out the tail light assembly. It have to plastic pin that attached to the car body. do not break the pin. After you pry out the tail light assembly, you will be able to replace the light bulb. Replace everything in a reverse order.
