Gentleman did a great job of showing how to remove the taillight assembly. Someone actually broke the lens on my driver's side and the video showed me how easy it is to remove the entire assembly. Thanks to the gentlemen for the information.

...you did show replacing the bulb?????..or did I miss that part?

@datboynat11 Год назад

Yes I did

@scottjensen1075 Год назад

THERE IS A 3rd NUT!!! JUST HEADS UP TO OTHERS. Awesome starting point, thank you. I tried changing from underneath car and just couldn’t get the bulb to turn into the assembly. Others have had better luck though. I gave up and found this video and it helped for sure. As other commenters stated, there is a 3rd nut, same as others, behind the bracket the spring attaches to. Unhook spring with your hand to access it.

@gradymckinney933 Год назад

Bill F is correct, yes there are 3 - 8mm nuts also the rubber molding at the bottom of the taillight assembly has been removed making it easier for the assembly to be remove and put back. I wrestled with the job he made look so simple. Discovering the 3rd nut and trying to put back together without removing rubber molding and keeping dial from spinning off. But giving credit it is a helpful video cuz it saved me money by showing me how to do it myself

On the 2017 XTS on the left hand side rear light removal there is a third screw hidden directly behind the trunk spring. I just disconnected the spring to reach it more easily. You can use your hands to take it off and put it back on. Bad news no one had the light switch but Cadillac $239. It was Saturday and I needed it right away it may be cheaper on line

@The1969GTOJudge 2 года назад

NOTE: There are THREE 8mm nuts on studs holding the assembly, not just 2. If you pause at 4:51 you will see the 3rd lower mount hole on the car and the JB Weld on the taillight assembly where the stud mount boss should be... looks like whoever previously removed this removed the top 2 nuts and then pried the assembly out breaking the lower stud right off the taillight, and then JB Welded a cover on it

There was water on the blown bulb I’m assuming that was the reason my bulb blew out too. When I removed the old bulb, there was water in it which was weird. Maybe it was from me using pressure washer to wash my car. Thanks for the video.

@datboynat11 2 месяца назад

@@MrEdge696 these cars are well known for this issue, it’s a factory flaw, over time water would find its way through the tail light into the bulb. It’s a common issue with the xts

@evannotthemenace1513 4 года назад

Urban Tech I mean did it turn on at all before the replacement? Because my tail light is on except when I brake

@evannotthemenace1513 4 года назад

Does this mean I need to replace the bulb although the light works? Or is it a fuse?

@datboynat11 4 года назад

Candy Galaviz my tail light did not turn on at all. The only way I found out was when I was driving one day the driver behind me was honking so I pulled over and he drove up to my window and told me the break light on my driver's side wasn't working only the one on the passenger side. I took the car to a mechanic shop and they confirmed the same thing.

@datboynat11 4 года назад

I didn't replace the bulb because the entire tail light is one Assembly. All you have to do is replace the unit that i show you in the video.

Anyone know where to get a quality replacement? Seen some while searching, but at least a couple(cheap under $30) with at least some bad reviews saying each unit lasts a month or two.

@datboynat11 Год назад

You can replace the diode and still get the same problem months down the road because of the design flawed of this car, water is going to find its way back in and damage the light unless you find a way to prevent water from getting into the light.
