How to Remove a Brake Light on a 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander?

Greetings! In this quick video, I'll walk you through the process of removing and replacing a damaged brake light bulb on a 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander. Let's get started.

How to Remove a Brake Light Bulb on a 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander

Step 1: Removing the Brake Light Assembly

1. Begin by removing two Phillips head screws securing the brake light assembly—one here and another here.
2. Gently start prying the brake light assembly. If it's challenging to remove, use a plastic piece to carefully pry it out. Be cautious to avoid damaging the car's paint. Place the prying tool here to avoid any paint damage.

Step 2: Accessing the Bulb

1. With the brake light assembly out, you'll have access to the back. Locate the faulty brake bulb.
2. Turn the bulb counterclockwise, release it, and remove the old bulb. Remember, handling the new bulb with clean hands or latex gloves is crucial to ensure its longevity. Oily residue can affect its performance.

Step 3: Replacing the Bulb

1. Before installing the new bulb, ensure your hands are clean or wear latex gloves.
2. Insert the new bulb and turn it clockwise to lock it in place.
3. Reattach the brake light assembly by aligning and pressing it back into position until it clicks.

Step 4: Securing the Assembly

1. Fasten the assembly with the two Phillips head screws you initially removed.
2. Test your brake light to confirm its proper functioning.

With the new bulb in place, your brake light should be back to working condition. If you found this guide helpful, please consider giving it a thumbs up. Thank you for watching, and I'll catch you in the next one!
