Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20 plus years' experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts, installed correctly that's going to save you time and money. Thank you, and enjoy the video.

In this video we're going to show you how to replace the taillight on this Buick Century. It's fairly easy. You can do this to replace the taillight assembly itself, or just service the bulbs. No tools are needed. In the trunk you want to remove this upper clip and pull this back, and there's two more hand nuts here, and the taillight can just come right out. If you're looking to service the bulbs you just this one has a little thumb lock and they twist. This one just twists out. Now that we sell the replacements so if you've backed into something or your taillight lost a fight to a pole or something, you can replace it, or if you're just looking to service the bulbs. That locks and twists, and line up the studs, push it in, tighten these thumb screws back up.

We hope this helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the internet. Please feel free to call us toll free, 88-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the internet and in person.
