How to properly service and replace the Tail Light on 2005 GMC Safari?

First turn off the headlamp switch and open the rear doors to replace the tail lamp. Take off the screws that hold the tail lamp in place to the body, unscrew the lamp sockets at the back of the tail lamp by squeezing the tang of the electrical connector and twisting the bulb and base ensuring you do not remove the grease from the socket. Next, unscrew the bulbs in their sockets. For installation, if there is no grease in the sockets, you may selectively use light coating of lithium grease, then push the bulbs back to the sockets. Reconnect the lamp sockets to the tail lamp mounting point at the back and place the tail lamp onto the body and tighten with the screws to 3 nm (27 lb in).
