2002 Buick Regal Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the rear tail light assembly or back up, sidemarker, stop, and turn signal bulbs on 2002 Buick Regal?

  A: Begin by opening the rear compartment and if your vehicle has a rear compartment convenience net then remove it from the plastic wingnut retainers. The tail lamp retains a plastic wingnut in view which allows access to hidden wingnuts after pulling the rear compartment trim panel. Push gently on the tail lamp lens to hold its position before you fully remove all remaining plastic wingnuts. Move the rear body panel tail lamp assembly when all wingnuts are removed and set it on a secure surface. The lamp sockets detach from the tail lamp housing when rotated counterclockwise so remove the housing assembly along with bulbs from the sockets when needed. Begin by inserting the bulbs into their sockets when necessary before placing the tail lamp sockets into the housing and turning them clockwise until they are completely seated. Press the lens gently against the rear body panel to position the assembly while secure the plastic wingnut retainers into place. Reinstall the rear compartment trim panel corner along with all tail lamp plastic wingnut retainers. Users with this feature should reconnect the rear compartment convenience net to its plastic wingnut retainers prior to shutting the rear compartment.
