Default Taillight Installation

Can anyone help me with instructions on how to R & R a 997 passenger taillight.

Had a little problem in the garage, and a ladder ended up breaking the light.

Can't find anything on search...

Thanks!

my 996 has two torx screws when you open the engine cover on the side of the tail light. I'd assume it would be similar if not identical to the 997. Once you take out those screws, you pull the tail light to the inside and it should "pop" out

The only screw you need to remove is the phillips screw. As soon as you unscrew that one screw, go ahead and pop the tailight off. Should take 45.9 seconds.

Read the manual. There are instructions on removing the taillight to replace the bulb.

Fantastic, sounds easy. I'll take a closer look when I get back into town.

Thanks for the help!

45.9 sec, too funny!
