Believe it or not I am actually asking how to change a lightbulb!

One of my rear stop lights (the big one) is burn't out. I was able to remove the fixture but it seems sealed! How the heck do I change the lightbulb inside?

Buy an LED trailer kit and replace them all

Does the bulb and the connector twist out of the back of the fixture. That's the way it works on my F150. I believe it's a 1/4 turn or so. The first time I changed the buld it was very tight when I tried to twist it.

Finally figured it out. I needed to change the whole enclosure, you cannot remove the bulb. $11 at Canadian Tire and found a perfect fit. I love standards!

Wasn't I the one who posted that one shouldn't be afraid to ask stupid questions? Well that one was mine! LOL.

For Britinusa: Converting to LED trailer lights might have been my most wisely spent money in a long history with boats.
