How to Remove Brake Light 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander?

To remove the brake light on a 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander, follow these steps:

1. Open the rear hood of your vehicle to access the back of the brake light assembly. Make sure you have enough space to work comfortably.
2. Locate the two Phillips head screws that secure the brake light assembly in place. There should be one screw on each side of the assembly. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove these screws.
3. Once the screws are removed, you can start gently prying on the brake light assembly to detach it from the vehicle. If the assembly is difficult to remove, you can use a piece of plastic or a similar tool as a prying tool. Be careful not to apply excessive force or damage the paint around the assembly.
4. After successfully removing the brake light assembly, it's time to replace the old bulb. Follow these steps:
• Locate the old bulb within the assembly. It will be held in place by a socket or connector.
• Twist the old bulb counterclockwise to release it from the socket or connector.
• Take note of the bulb's model or specifications, and head to a local auto parts store to purchase a suitable replacement bulb.
• Once you have the new bulb, carefully insert it into the socket or connector. Make sure it is securely seated and properly aligned.
5. With the new bulb in place, it's time to reassemble the brake light:
• Align the brake light assembly with its original position on the vehicle. You should hear a click or feel a snug fit when it is properly aligned.
• Reinstall the two Phillips head screws and tighten them to secure the assembly in place.

Remember the following tips:

• Before handling the new bulb, wash your hands thoroughly or wear latex gloves to minimize the transfer of oils.
• Take care not to touch the glass part of the new bulb with bare fingers, as the oils from your skin can damage the bulb and reduce its lifespan.
