How to Replace Jeep Liberty Tail Lights

The tail lights on the Jeep Liberty are enclosed in a plastic assembly with the bulbs mounted inside. To access the bulbs, you must first remove the assembly from the Jeep, but you can remove it in a few minutes with basic hand tools. The bulbs used in the tail light are standard 3057 bulbs, available at any auto parts store. These bulbs have a dual filament so they operate both the brake and tail lights.

Instructions

1

Open the lift gate of your Jeep and locate the retaining screws along the inner edge of the tail light assembly. Remove the screws with a socket and ratchet and set them aside.

2

Separate the tail light assembly from the rear of the Jeep and locate the electrical connector on the rear of the assembly. Depress the locking tab and pull the connector away from the tail light back plate.

3

Remove the two screws that hold the back plate to the tail light assembly with a Phillips head screwdriver then separate the back plate from the tail light. Grasp the bulb and pull it straight out of the back plate. Discard it.

4

Install a new 3057 bulb into the back plate, pushing it in until it seats firmly in the socket. Install the back plate on the rear of the tail light assembly then install the two retaining screws and tighten them with the Phillips head screwdriver.

5

Position the tail light assembly on the rear of the Jeep, install the retaining screws and tighten them with a socket and ratchet. Do not over-tighten these screws or you will crack the plastic assembly. Close the lift gate and test the light by turning on the head light switch.
