    I never had a fatherly figure to teach me about cars and how to fix things on my own but with this video I learned how to change my tail light bulb. So thank you so much for teaching me

      I just change mine for the 1st time since I bought My 2016 in 2017 and it went exactly like He said
      Everything exactly , to the mm , including how hard to break it lose but having to get it pushed evenly.
      It definitely wasn’t the video doing anything wrong. You were just being a weenie.

    Good and helpful instructions. I appreciate it. Took less than the length of the video to do the left side and the right side was just as quick. One thing I did not do was remove the grommets from the liner. I hate those things and usually mess them up. So if I can get by without removing them the better off I am. I was able to get to the two nuts easy and it was a snap. Thanks JJ

    The people who gave it a thumbs down are probably pissed that the light wont come out easily. I've done it and I broke the taillight trying to push and pull it out. You actually have to hit it hard to get it to come out. Or at least I did. Small break in the plastic but it got changed and works
