Owners of other Chrysler, Dodge and RAM vehicles such as the Town & Country, 300, 200, Avenger, Charger, Journey, Dart, Durango, Grand Caravan, and Ram C/V Tradesman minivan may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

This 2015 Challenger is equipped with LED bulbs that will last the life time of the vehicle. I created this guide to show you the procedure for accessing the bulb sockets on earlier model years.

Replacement bulbs with their part numbers are as follows: Brake # 3057, Rear Turn Signal # 3057 and Reverse # 921.

The tools needed to complete this procedure include a flathead screwdriver or a plastic automotive panel pry bar tool and a Torx T20 star bit screwdriver.

Then move to the side of the vehicle with the burnt out bulb.

To remove the outer tail light housing, loosen the black plastic thumb nut or "wing nut" located on the carpet liner by turning it counterclockwise.

Then pull back the carpet liner and remove the second black plastic wing nut by turning it counterclockwise.

Press the release tab on the grey plastic electrical connector and slide it out of its socket.

Gently pull the tail light housing straight off the rear of the vehicle.

On this 2015 Challenger with LED tail lights, there are no owner replaceable bulbs.

On the previous 2008 to 2014 Challenger model years, you'll see the round plastic bulb sockets.

Rotate the bulb socket 1/4 turn counterclockwise and remove it from the housing.

Pull the old bulb straight out of the socket and push in a new one.

The brake and rear turn signal light bulbs are both # 3057.

The reverse bulbs are part number 921.

If you would like to have brighter reverse lights, install some compatible 921 LED bulbs.

Once you have replaced the bulbs, push on the housing, secure it with the inner wing nut, cover it with the carpeted trunk liner and spin on the outer wing nut.

To access the tail light bulbs in the trunk lid, locate the two wing nuts.

Then pry out the center pieces of the two black plastic fasteners.

Then loosen the screw by turning it counterclockwise with a Torx T20 screwdriver.

Tap on the exposed screw ends to help loosen the center tail light assembly.

Press the release tab on the electrical connector and slide it out of its socket.

Turn over the center tail light housing to access the bulb sockets.

Rotate the bulb socket 1/4 turn counterclockwise and pull it out of the housing.

Pull the old bulb straight out of the socket and push in a new bulb.

To replace the center tail light housing, hold it near the trunk lid and push in the electrical connector back in to its socket.

Line up the screw ends with their corresponding holes and push the housing back in to place.

Replace the screw on the outer edge of the housing and tighten it in the clockwise direction with the Torx T-20 star bit screwdriver.

Try to avoid over tightening the screws to prevent from cracking the plastic tail light housing.

Gently pop the plastic trim panels back in to place on either side of the trunk lid.

Spin on the two wing nuts in the clockwise direction until they are snug.

Test the new tail light bulbs by having someone step on the brake pedal, activate the hazard signals and place the transmission in reverse.

Don't forget to write down the bulb change in your vehicle's service records.
