bob393 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Please don't shoot me! I have 2 Lesabres and I can't get the lenses off the license plate lights. I see the obvious Philips head screws but they just turn. You can't reach the plugs through the holes in the trunk lid. Don't tell me you need to remove the entire tail light assemblies.

bob393 Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Could someone just tell me if the two Philips screws are the screws that hold the lenses in. And should they come out or is there a lock nut on the back? I know someone must have changed their license plate lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't get more companion car than a Buick LeSabre Just seems to me this is not a well visited section of the forum. And yes it is already posted in the Buick Forum, LeSabre section. Anyway 10-4, thanks No more on the light, I promise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodybyFisher Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Dont get me wrong, I saw your "don't shoot me", its just that I also saw that you were not getting help, so I tried to redirect you..so you could get help Its possible that those two phillips screws are stripped and not backing out, but it certainly sounds like those two screws must come out Pre-1995 - DTC codes OBD1 >> 1996 and newer - DTC codes OBD2 >> https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/gm/obd_codes.htm How to check for codes Caddyinfo How To Technical Archive >> http://www.caddyinfo.com/wordpress/cadillac-how-to-faq/ Cadillac History & Specifications Year by Year http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob393 Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 No offense taken, I did understand what you were saying. And just for future readers of this thread; I just spent the last hour figuring out this light thing. The Philips head screws were not screws at all but plastic Philips head pins. I was able to pull the pins out with a pair of needle nose pliers and that allowed the plastic clips to pull through he holes exposing the back of the lights so I could pull the socket out from the back. To reassemble the lights all you do is push it back together and than push the Philips head pins back in place. That locks the light assembly back into the car.
