Replace a Tail Light – 2007 Pontiac G6 Convertible

In this video, U Do It demonstrates how to replace a tail light in a 2007 Pontiac G6 Convertible.

It is nearly impossible to tell if your turn signal, which is also known as a blinker, is working while driving. Fortunately, the Pontiac G6 provides an indication if the turn signal is not working by blinking at a faster rate. With the car in park and the parking brake applied you can turn the key to accessory mode. Then you can flip your turn signal lever to signal left and to signal right. Notice the rate at which it is blinking. In both cases, exit the vehicle and observe your front left, front right, rear left, and rear right turn signal lights around your vehicle. If you see one is not operating properly, chances are that the bulb is defective. This doesn’t mean that there aren’t other problems.

Helpful instructions

  1. Insert the key into the ignition and turn to the accessory mode.
  2. Flip your turn signal to the left and then to the right. If both are out they will blink fast. If only one is out only that one will blink fast. If neither are out they will blink normal. While the turn signal is blinking exit the vehicle and check the front and the rear turn signal lights so you know which to replace. If it is the rear turn signal / brake light that needs to be replaced then continue.
  3. Remove the covers for the bolts as shown in the video.
  4. Remove the nuts that secure the two bolts and remove the bolt on the rear of the light assembly as shown. (12mm socket)
