In this video, see how to remove the tail lights from a Chevrolet Equinox, a task to perform if you need to replace a burnt-out bulb or the light itself. Start by opening the trunk and removing the two indicated plastic caps; beneath them are the screws securing the light.

Remove the screws with a 10mm socket wrench and disengage the light from the body, using a plastic trim tool for assistance. To extract a bulb, simply rotate the socket counterclockwise.

Repeat the process for the opposite light if necessary.
