Default Tail Light Replacement on '03 F 150 KR short box

Good day all,

I need to change the tail light. I have a short box with a bed liner. I don't see any screws on the outside of the tail lamp assembly, but see two screws buried on the inside post once the tail gate is opened. In order to change the lamp, do I need to remove those two screws, or do I need to remove the liner in order to get to screws on the back side of the tail light assembly? It's looking like I might have to remove the liner. I was hoping not to have to do that.

Any suggestions or tips?

Thanks guys

Paul

Yeah, when you lower the tail gate you will see to 10mm bolts inside the post, remove them and pull the lights out.

Make sure you have a telescoping magnet, just in case.

youll have to pull kinda hard, them tabs holding them in do a good job.

I'm gonna wait till the weekend to change the bulbs.....a little too nasty temperature wise at the moment.

Thanks for the tips. Magnetic screwdriver will be a must, cause I'd hate to drop 'em down that rabbit hole. Can't see ever getting them back!
