Question
Hi Bill,

I need to replace the left brake light bulb on my 1999 Chevy S-10 pickup. Could you tell me how I go about doing this? I do not see any screws in the lens cover itself. There is a bedliner in the truck since it was new.

Thanks,

Harry

Answer
Harry.
You may have to remove the bedliner, or if possible loosen the rear portion close to your
tailgate.
There are two screws, (phillips head)or small bolts (8mm)located on the panel inside your
bed to the inner side of the tail lamp or directly behind it.
Remove the two and this will free the unit giving you access to your bad bulb.
                                            Best of luck,  Bill
