Viktor, thanks much for posting this, helped a ton. To me the toughest parts were to disconnect the larger connector (you have to understand it to apply, with a screwdriver, the right pressure in the right place while pulling the wire) and to tighten back the upper nut (out of three) that holds the taillight. I had to tighten that nut with a wrench at a steep angle, which was tough... I used a screwdriver on the other end of the wrench to apply more torque to it. A hinged wrench or a deep socket would have helped me a lot... Again, thanks much.
@Viktor_G_Automotive Жыл бұрын
Yeah, it is not easy to disconnect those connectors and get to the top nut. It would be much easier with the interior panel off, but removing that is a lot of work. Thanks for watching!

Hi, your video is quite helpful. I want to change my tail light bulb but can't seem to find the bulbs. Any idea where i can find them online?
@Viktor_G_Automotive8 күн бұрын
@@elfassibanda6770 hi, if you just need the taillight bulb, you don’t need to remove the housing to replace it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJvZhmN9oNVmZ6csi=1c4-UMJAUHPSju2l The bulb links are in the description and in the pinned comment below the video. However, if you need to replace the brake light bulb, it’s a led and has to be replaced as a complete assembly, links below this video we are commenting on.

I’ve never taken one apart to diagnose it since the manufacturer only sells the complete replacement taillight assembly, so unfortunately I can’t answer your question.

This is not to change light bulbs. This is for changing the whole taillight assembly. Changing light bulbs takes literally 30 seconds for both bulbs, including removal and reassembly of trim pieces.

@Viktor_G_Automotive Correct, but the commenter here is comparing it to changing a blinker or parking light bulb, which IS IN FACT quick and easy on this vehicle as well. I'm interested in knowing how long a whole assembly replacement would take on their mystery, quick-change vehicle they're comparing the RX to. Edit: I would like to clarify that I was responding to the original comment, Viktor. I hold your expertise in high regard and would not question it. 🙏🏼😊
