How to Replace A Brake Light

Learn how to change a brake light with our step-by-step guide below:

Find the Correct Bulbs: Check your owner’s manual for the correct type of brake light your Chevrolet uses. Ensure that you have the right size and voltage as an ill-fitting brake light will cause your braking system to malfunction.
Remove Tail Light Housing: Remove the colored lens from the old brake light with a Phillips screwdriver. Once you remove the cover, take out the defective bulb and move on to the next step.
Replace the Brake-Light Bulb: Apply some dielectric grease to the end of the new brake light bulb to prevent corrosion and rust. Insert the new bulb and reattach the lens to the new bulb.

Check Your Taillights

Checking your taillights is key as they play a crucial role in keeping you safe on the streets of Richlands. Your taillights communicate to other drivers what you intend to do ahead of time, and if your taillights are not operating correctly, it can cause confusion to the drivers around you.

Malfunctioning taillights make accidents much more likely to occur, so it’s in your best interest to ensure that your taillights are in good working order whenever you drive to Sneads Ferry. To prevent yourself from receiving a costly fix-it ticket, check your taillights when you do your routine oil and tire checks. Knowing how to replace your brake light will save you money on service expenses
