Removing the Rear Light of a Cherokee

Model: Jeep Cherokee KJ, MK 3 - Years 2002-2007
Part: Tail light

Remove the rear light of the Cherokee? Replace the light if damaged or the bulbs inside it. Open and lift the tailgate of the boot, and using a screwdriver, unscrew (with a socket or screwdriver with a bit) the securing screws located at the side of the rear light. Once the light is free from any constraints, detach it from the bodywork (disconnect the relevant power connectors). Replace the damaged bulbs with identical size and voltage parts. Fit the new light or the same one back, and reverse the assembly of the other parts. Turn on the lights and check the operation of the bulbs.
