my break light went out on my 2001 lincoln ls i bought the lights but now i cant figure out how to put them in. the only thing i see is a small hole i cant even get my finger in where the wires go to it. if anybody could give advise would be appreciated.

ps. will the dummy light for the light system go off when it gets changed or dose it have to be re programed
 
you will need to remove the taillight housing to change the bulb.. if you open your trunk and pull down the carpet from behind the tail light area you will see the bolts you need to remove. Be careful in pulling down the carpet, dont just yank it down, there may be a couple of push-pins you need to unscrew or pry off that hold the carpet in place.

Once you pull the carpet back and unscrew the bolts you will have to give it a little force to pull the tail-light out.

then you can change the bulb, but I would test it before reinstalling the light housing, just to be sure it works. then when you go to re-install the tail light housing, just line up the "locators" and give the light whack to seat properly
