1992-1997 Cadillac Seville SLS STS LED High Mounted Third Brake Light Removal

Cut the 8 lower fasteners holding the rear compartment lid carpet trim (near license plate area). We will provide you with new fasteners. 

  1. Remove the 5 nuts (11mm or 7/16) securing the taillight. 
  2. Disconnect electrical connector (blue and black wires). 
  3. IMPORTANT: While the deck lid is open and the lid cover is pulled down, look toward the inside corners of the deck lid (same area as nuts) and you should be able to see the white 'christmas tree' clips. You will need to cut these clips off using snippers/wire cutters (Stanley 74-438 works great; a blade from a hacksaw also works well). Try to cut as much of the clip off as possible. Once the clips are cut you should be able to remove the taillight. *See important message and picture below.
  4. Do not reuse white 'christmas tree' clips. Do not over tighten nuts. Only snug the nuts to fit the brake light to the deck lid.

*IMPORTANT: BROKEN STUDS ARE OK. BROKEN END TIPS ARE NOT. DO NOT PRY ON THE BRAKE LIGHT TO REMOVE. THIS CAN RESULT IN A BROKEN END TIP. BROKEN END TIPS CANNOT BE REPAIRED AND WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR CORE CREDIT. SEE PICTURE BELOW.

Special note Escalade ESV and Escalade EXT owners!
 

Attention Escalade EXT and SUV owners! From a short distance the EXT third lamp resembles the SUV third brake lamp version. In fact, they are two completly different lamps. The EXT lamp is made by a different supplier, has a different vehicle mounting design, and has different internal electronics.

The Escalade EXT and Escalade SUV lamps are not interchangable.
