How to Change a 2006 Subaru Forester Taillight
- 1). Remove the two mounting bolts on the inside edge of the rear taillight assembly using a socket and ratchet.
- 2). Grasp the bulb socket and turn it counter-clockwise to remove it from the assembly. Pull the wiring harness connection free of the bulb socket.
- 3). Connect the wiring harness to the new bulb socket. Insert the bulb socket into the taillight assembly and turn it clockwise until it locks into place.
- 4). Reposition the taillight assembly and secure it with the two mounting bolts. Tighten the bolts with a socket and ratchet.
- 5). Repeat the process on the opposite side if necessary. Test the operation of the new taillights to be sure they are functioning properly.
