The 1994 Corvette has tail lights that are readily accessible from the rear of the car. As a result, if you have a tail light burn out, you can replace it in just a few minutes. Make sure that you use the light bulb that is compatible with the socket.
Instructions
1 Take the two screws out from either side of the tail light using your Phillips head screwdriver. You can reach them from the rear of the car. See page 198 of the manual in the References section for a diagram.
2 Remove the lens, and put it on a safe, level surface.
3 Push the burnt-out bulb inward and then turn it counterclockwise, or to the left. Then remove it by pulling it toward yourself.
4 Slide the new bulb into the socket. Press it in and turn clockwise, or to the right.
5 Replace the tail light lens, and then put the screws back in with the Phillips head screwdriver.

In 1997, Ford released an all-new full-sized SUV known as the Expedition. Ford based the initial body design, which lasted through 2002, on the F-series pickup truck. Even the Expeditions headlights and taillights were nearly identical to those on the F-series. Replacing the taillight on the Expedition requires the removal of the taillight assembly. This requires just two hand tools and a short amount of time.
Instructions
1 Open the Expeditions rear hatch and remove the two screws on the top of the taillight lens, using a Phillips screwdriver. Pry the taillight assembly from the rear of the SUV, using a flat-head screwdriver with the blade wrapped in a cloth. The cloth helps prevent damage to the taillight assembly and the Expeditions body.
2 Twist the taillight bulb socket -- the upper socket on the rear of the taillight assembly -- counterclockwise to unlock it. Pull the socket and bulb from the taillight assembly.
3 Pull the failed taillight bulb from the socket, using a slight wiggling motion. Using a clean, lint-free cloth, press a new 3157 bulb into the socket. Touching the bulb with your bare hands may cause premature bulb failure.
4 Insert the socket and bulb into the rear of the taillight assembly and twist the socket clockwise to lock it in place.
5 Set the taillight assembly back on the rear of the Expedition and tighten the screws with a Phillips screwdriver. Close the rear hatch.
