Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and the next time you need a part for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to service your taillight bulbs as well as replace the entire taillight assembly on this 2012 Chevy Traverse. We show you on the driver side, but the passenger side is the same procedure. The items you'll need for this include new taillights from 1AAuto.com, a 7mm socket and ratchet, and a flat blade screwdriver.
Start off by opening your tailgate. Right here there are two bolt covers. Pry them off with a flat blade screwdriver. Now you can see there are two 7mm bolts. We'll just fast-forward as Don removes those. Now pull the taillight directly out, and then push the tab on this harness and pull it through.
If you're just looking to service the bulb, you just want to twist the bulb out of the socket, pull the bolt out, push your new one in, and twist the socket back into place. The other bulb are pretty much the same. Twist it out, pull the bulb right out, push the new one in, and twist it back into place.
On the left is the old taillight; on the right is the new one from 1A Auto. They'll mount exactly the same.
Take your new taillight, plug in the harness, then line up this stud with this hole, and push the taillight back into place. You do have to apply a decent amount of pressure to get it to go in. Once you get it in, replace those two 7mm bolts and tighten them up. Then replace those two covers. Now test them out. Make sure they work, and you're all set.
We hope this video helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll-free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.

Hi, I’m Mike from 1A Auto. We’ve been selling auto parts for over 30 years!
Open the tailgate. Use a small flap of the screwdriver, and remove these two caps to get to the screws underneath. Just pop them out. Got a little tether to keep them in there. The same for both. These are seven millimeter head screws. I'm just using a socket and a driver handle. Remove these. Now, we need to push the tail light straight off of the quarter panel. There's a clip behind here. Just going to give it some force and going to push it. It came out pretty easily. There's a pin here that it's stuck on. Just push it out.
To replace the whole assembly, you can unplug it. Push in the lock, pull the connector off. Reconnect the harness. It'll click when it's locked in place, reinstall the assembly. I'll line up this pin, it's going to go right into that grommet there. That's it. Reinstall the self-tapping screws. Just tighten it in, and it'll get tight, just stop. Push these back into place. It'll snap right into place. The opposite side is the same exact procedure.
