The compatible replacement light bulb part numbers are as follows: Brake # 7443, Rear Turn Signal # 7440A (or WY21W), Reverse # 7440 and Parking Light # 194.

The tools needed to access and replace the tail light bulbs include a small flathead screwdriver, an 8mm socket with a 1/4" drive ratchet (or a standard Phillips head screwdriver) and possibly also a plastic trim panel removal tool.

The first two steps are to open the tailgate and move to the side of the vehicle with the burnt out tail light bulb.

Locate the two small square shaped plastic screw covers on the inner edge of the tail light housing that were hidden by the tailgate.

Insert the blade of a small flathead screwdriver into the small notch at the bottom of the screw covers before gently prying them out.

Set the two screw covers aside in a safe place.

Set the two bolts aside in a safe place.

Gently pry along the front outer edge of the tail light housing with a plastic trim panel removal tool to loosen the other fasteners.

Pull the tail light housing straight off the rear corner of the minivan.

Turn over the assembly to access the two bulb sockets.

The brake light bulb socket is located at the top of the housing.

Pull the old light bulb straight out of the socket.

Re-insert the bulb socket into the housing and rotate it 1/4 turn clockwise to secure it in place.

Rotate the bulb socket 1/4 turn counterclockwise before pulling it straight out.

Pull the old light bulb straight out of the socket.

Re-insert the turn signal bulb socket into the housing and rotate it 1/4 turn clockwise to secure it in place.

Hold the tail light housing near the rear corner of the car.

Line up the plastic peg with its grommet and the black plastic spike with its slot.

Replace the two bolts by turning them clockwise with a Phillips head screwdriver until they are snug.

Line up the two plastic screw covers and gently snap them back into place.

The reverse and parking light bulbs are located in a separate housing attached to the tailgate door.

Use the plastic pry bar tool or a flathead screwdriver to gently pull off the access panel.

Set the access cover aside in a safe place.

Rotate the small grey plastic bulb socket 1/4 turn counterclockwise before pulling it straight out of the housing.

Pull the old light bulb straight out of the socket.

If you would like to have brighter parking lights, install some compatible 194 LED bulbs.

Re-insert the bulb socket into the housing and rotate it 1/4 turn clockwise to secure it in place.

Rotate the bulb socket 1/4 turn counterclockwise before pulling it straight out of the housing.

Pull the old reverse light bulb straight out of the socket.

Re-insert the reverse light bulb socket into the housing and rotate it 1/4 turn clockwise to secure it in place.

Line up the plastic access cover with the underside of the tailgate.

To test the new tail light bulbs, have an assistant sit in the front seat, step on the brake pedal, activate the hazard signals, turn on the headlights to illuminate the parking lights and place the transmission in reverse.

Be sure to record the light bulb change in your minivan's service records.
