The steps to remove the taillight of a Buick Excelle: First, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, then remove the fender liner and three screws, followed by the nuts securing the rear taillight assembly. Remove one nut and two bolts, then take out three cross screws. There are two plastic components under the rear taillight assembly that hold the rear bumper in place, so the rear bumper must be removed before the taillight assembly can be taken out. The Buick Excelle has body dimensions of 4468mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1469mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2611mm. The car is positioned as an entry-level compact sedan. The prototype of the Excelle was a global mid-size sedan developed by General Motors, with the design and development led by GM Daewoo Auto & Technology.
When removing the Buick Excelle tail light, first open the trunk and locate the fixing screws in the area behind the tail light. Usually, there are several screws that can be loosened with a Phillips screwdriver. After removing the screws, gently push the tail light housing outward to release it, but avoid using excessive force to prevent damaging the clips. Then, note that there are wires connected to the back of the tail light. Locate the connector, press the clip, and unplug it. Once done, the tail light can be removed. Remember to turn off the power before starting for safety. If it's your first time removing it, the clips might be very tight, so it's best to use a soft cloth to prevent scratching the car paint. After removal, check if the bulb is burnt out or if the wiring is aged, as the Excelle tail lights are prone to water ingress and fogging. If a new light is needed, choose one that matches the original to avoid compatibility issues. To install the new light, reverse the steps, tighten the screws but not too forcefully, and test the light by connecting the wires before securing it. With patience, the whole process can be completed within 10 minutes.
