Re: Replace Broken Tail Light
If I remember correctly (our 88 got replaced in 97 with a JGC) the
taillite assembly is held to the body with a few screws that are on the
outside of the tailight. Remove them and the whole plastic assembly
comes off. Transfer the bulb sockets to the new assembly and then
screw back onto the body. Might want to check that the gasket between
the body and the taillite assembly is still sound. Its real easy, when
my 17 year old backed into a pole he had the whole thing fixed in about
30 minutes, and was much more careful in reverse.
