Removing taillights on 82
Hey I need to remove the taillights on my 82 TA. The passenger side if it matters. One brake light is out so I need to check the connections and replace the bulb if needed.

Remove the interior hatch latch panel (big plastic panel in the center of the rear hatch well) and, remove the spare tire cover. You'll notice 5 plastic wing nuts (they have a 13mm hex head too). Remove the wing nuts and pull the lamp assembly out. Pulling the sockets are a no brianer from there.
Most of the time, the bulbs are marked at the base, I think my '92 uses 1157, 2057, and 194's, you can easily find these almost anywhere, walmart, drug mart, etc. If you're not sure, sure you can ask for help.
