automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the fifth generation (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 & 2015)
GM Chevrolet Camaro in changing a burnt out rear side marker light
bulb in the back fascia bumper cover. Owners of other General Motors vehicles such as the Spark, Cruze, Malibu, Sonic, Impala, Traverse, Tahoe, Trax, SS, GMC Terrain, Acadia, Yukon, Buick Verano, Regal, LaCrosse, Encore, Enclave and the Holden Barina may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. A replacement side marker light bulb is part number 194 which is available from various manufacturers such as Sylvania, GE, Eiko and PIAA. If you would like to have brighter side marker lights, install some compatible 194 LED bulbs. The tools needed to complete this procedure include a 7mm socket and a 1/4" drive ratcheting wrench. |
