Thanks for the great video. I was changing out the bulbs for a friend who was struggling with it. I knew there had to be something else holding the lens assembly besides the two nuts. It was just as I expected. Two pressure nipples making it difficult., but finally got it off and repaired.

What did you do with the pressure ripples to get it off?

Great video but as others have discovered removing the cluster is often very difficult but after experimenting I finally found a repeatable method to remove the rear cluster. First remove the 2 retaining nuts from the back of the unit and unplug as shown then gently slide a luggage strap behind the front and another behind the rear of the light unit. Then pull both straps at the same time from the back of the car. This is similar to the solution posted elsewhere using zip ties but the luggage straps are far stronger and give you more leverage. No heat or hammers required. Good luck.

Thank you for this great instructional video!!

Having the same issues

My 2011 Ford Fusion had flaps at the back inside the trunk. Pull them back and twist the light out, replace and reinsert. Job done. No tools.

I don't know if there is a difference between left hand drive and right hand drive Elantra's. I live in Australia and on my 2016 Elantra, there's two nuts and some sort of white clip. That white clip is the problem, it will not budge. I cannot get the tail light cover off. I watched the 2017, and that looks closer to my Elantra. But still no white clip.

I installed a single contact bulb instead of a double ended one just to try out if it works. To my surprise it did but the other to lights next to it wont work until its night and the headlights are on. I guess the double ended bulbs help turn the other two brake lights turn on

Replacing a brake light bulb shouldn't be this hard. Mine is seriously stuck. Replacing the front bulbs was nothing. Before posting this video you must've been at it for hours with your brake lights. As for me I've officially run out of patience. I appreciate your help, but I'm off to the mechanic. I'll pay them to cuss at it.

After you remove the bolts there should be a little bit of play in the light to get your fingers under

Another hack that I found is using a small suction cup handle when you're pulling directly back make sure you're doing circular motions to pop those plugs out.

Anybody have a third light in the cluster. Mine is out and it looks weird. I want to replace but bobody is bringing it up as something that meeds replacing

Right side came off with a fight- the left side feels cemented on. Crazy that it’s so difficult to change a bulb.

One thing that I thought about after I made this video is that those rubber gaskets that hold the light in will be harder in colder weather. It might be a good idea to put a heater or blow dryer on it to soften them up. Disregard this if you live in a warm place...lol

Well, I took mine out... it only took me 10 minutes, but i dropped the entire case. Now, it is going to cost me 100 plus dollars to replace it 😂😢 That shit is tight and takes lots of force to remote it and is hard to hold at the same time. My suggestion is to have someone else be next to you, so if the case slips out of your hands the other person can grab it. Also, dont use uniform while doing it 😂😂😂... get comfy clothes... hard work to pull it out.

Mine is stuck 😩😩 I’ve been trying for hours

Remember to make small circles as you're pulling directly back. Also you can buy a small suction cup to get better leverage from harbor freight
