How to replace a rearview lamp in a 2003 Buick Century

a rearveiw lamp? um......i believe your talking about a tail lamp or revere light. If so, simple just pop the trunk if it is one of the many on on your trunk lid just look at the under and up while its open there should be 5 or so hand nuts there turn them off and the whole trail lamp will slide out. Twist the bulb out put a new one in and put it back on. If it is on the rear corner open the trunk lid take off the net if you vehicle has one and remove the hand nuts in the corner if you cant find them all there might be one under the carpet just pull it down. The whole tail lamp should slide out put back the same way good luck hope this helped

Need to replace tail light bulb on 1996 Buick Century

Inside the trunk, under the carpet behind the tail lights will be a whole bunch of small plastic nuts, running from one side of the car to the other. Take all of these plastic nuts off, and the whole tail light assembly will come off in one large piece. Find the bulb you need to replace, and reassemble
