didn't know they changed it where you have to actually take the lamp all the way out to change a bulb what'* the reasoning for this?


PS. I never changed the bulb after that, just too much work

I really don't know the reason for this design. Maybe this design lends itself to being more water resistant. I know it can be a pita. Weren't the previous class Bonnevilles similar? I think they were, no?

ya kinda, it was a PITA to change the bulb in the car on the 96-99'* espically the center tail, it needs to come the entire way off to change bulbs, the 92-95 you can access the bulbs but good luck getting your hand in there to get a handle on to actually change them

Pat i had no problm changing my bulbs in my car. :?

may be i have monkey hands or something :?

only reason I can think of also,

1993'* right about changing out the center bulbs out of 92-95, the outer tails are easy though, 96-99 yea you do have to take out the center only reason I know this cause I was thinking of converting my rear end but trashed the idea.

hah i actually just got pulled over for my tail lightr being out last night!! $54 fine! can you believe that? thats NJ for you.

the best part is that I actually had the replacement bulb right on my passenger seat too that i bought the day before!! I was going to replace the bulb tonight, but its a little rainy and crappy out -- and now that i know it isnt as simple as popping the new bulb in from the trunk compartment.. i'll let it wait for the weekend!!

Sorry to hear that, the cop could have shown some leniency on the deal. I usually replace bulbs in sets, but thats me. If you need help with that tail lamp replacement give a shout over here.

mista, its really not that bad to change them. whats a few screws

I know, I get that lazy and unmotivated especailly now that it'* getting cold out the light illuminates but the passeger sides bulb closes to the inner taillamp doesn't have the brake light illuminate (it does bother me a lot) I have bulbs for it just need motivation

maybe I'll have to move to NJ to get it
