Make sure the headlamp switch is in the off position, then open the liftgate to expose the lamp assembly bolts. 2. Remove the two bolts covers using a standard flat tip screwdriver. 3. Remove the two bolts from the lamp assembly. 4. Carefully remove the lamp assembly away from the vehicle by pulling the assembly straight out to expose the bulb socket.

To determine which bulb your vehicle uses you can identify the bulb type by reading the bulb designation marking right next to the bulb socket on the back of the lamp. 83 2012 Explorer (exp) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
