holds the hood in the raised position.
• Pull both locking tabs of the wire harness plug
away from the bulb/socket assembly and
unplug the wire harness from the bulb
assembly. See Figure 34.

the back side of the tail lights from under the rear
fender.
NOTE: Use caution when removing the tail light
sockets from the reflector housings. The bulbs can
be pulled from the sockets and dropped into the
