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.
