How to Remove Optra Tail Lights

The law states that every vehicle on the road should have two working headlights, as well as two tail lights. This is for the safety of yourself and the other drivers on the road, as you must be able to see the road in front of you and be warned if a car is slowing down. If you need new tail lights on your Chevrolet Optra, the replacement procedure will only take you a few minutes.

Instructions

1

Go to the back of your Chevrolet Optra and open the trunk. Clear the trunk on the side that the broken tail light is on. You want full access to this area.

2

Move the cloth trunk mat away from the back of the tail light you are fixing. Locate the plastic nuts that are holding the tail light in place. Twist these nuts in a counterclockwise direction until they come all the way off. Use an adjustable wrench if you cannot loosen these with your fingers.

3

Pull the tail light fixture out. If it gets stuck, you can push on the fixture from the inside of the trunk. Use gentle, but firm, pressure to remove the tail light.

4

Replace the tail light with a new fixture. Make sure it is in securely. Tighten the plastic nuts in a clockwise direction and replace the cloth trunk mat.
