How to Remove the Taillight for a 1997 Chevy S 10
Removing the taillights from your 1997 Chevy S-10 pickup to replace the bulbs or complete assemblies takes just a few minutes. The taillights on the S-10 use standard 3157 dual-filament bulbs available from any auto parts store. The taillight housing also contains a 921 bulb that illuminates when you shift the truck into reverse. If the entire assembly requires replacement, salvage yards, the dealer or some auto parts stores can provide a new assembly.
Instructions
- 1
Open the tailgate of your S-10, and allow it to rest on the support cables. Locate the two retaining bolts on the inside edge of the tailgate opening, near the latch.
2Remove the two retaining bolts with a 10-millimeter socket and ratchet. Set the bolts aside so you can reuse them later.
3Grasp the taillight assembly from the rear, then pull it straight back from the bedside, removing the assembly from the truck until you can access the wiring on the back.
4Grasp the bulb sockets, rotate them counterclockwise and remove them from the rear of the taillight assembly. Remove the taillight assembly from the truck.
