Default Rear tail light help

New Ram owner, and seriously cant get enough of it. I love my truck and when something goes wrong even if its a little thing I want it being taken care of.

So, heres the sitch. Rear tail light blinker went and I dont really know what I'm looking for to change the thing. Is this just a bulb im changing? I could go just rip the thing apart and mess around but I have no knowledge of lighting... Im a BIG diy'er so i figured asking would help rather then breaking more...

thanks for any feedback

Open your tail gate. Where the tail gate meets the side of the bed, you will see two Torx screws about level with the top and bottom of each tail light. Take those two screws out and then gently pull straight back on the tail light assembly. On the fender side, there are two posts that fit into two rubber grommets. That is what you are pulling the lens away from. Once the tail light housing is off, remove the 6 phillips head screws holding the bulb assembly in place and you will have access to all three bulbs.

Your operators manual that came with the truck shows how to do all this.

HE has an '07. Only 2 bulbs back there. Same instructions, but without the 6 phillips head screwdriver. Bulb is a 3157 if I'm not mistaken. Any parts store, even Wal-Mart, has them.

This is correct.
