Appreciate you not using "and uh" , as many videos do. Very quick and concise, well done. Only critique, a lot of the electrical clips are very different in how they operate, slow down just a bit, and explain what is being squeezed or pried apart. The small electrical clips break easily if you twist or pry the wrong direction. Nice camera work also!
Hi Dave...I have a 2013 Durango and I watched your video 5 times before plucking up the courage to change two burned out bulbs on one of the inner light assemblies. I took advantage to change the bulbs on the other side as well since they’re probably going to burn out soon as well. Incredibly, everything worked out perfectly and I didn’t break anything. I felt like a pro myself! Haha. Your video was very instructional and paid attention to all the details and made the whole experience smooth and effortless. Thanks.
Awesome! Glad it worked out. Some times it breaks no matter how careful you are. Glad it didnt happen to you. Thanks for watching the video a few times and for using it to take on the job. Appreciate the feedback and make sure to subscribe!
This video was absolutely awesome for helping figure out how to change the inside taillight bulbs. Thank you for providing this high quality and informative video!
+Jim Gray Your welcome Jim. Thanks for finding the channel and for watching the video. Make sure to subscribe because there are a lot more videos related to your vehicle.
Such a pain to do this much work to replace a bulb, but you explained it perfectly. I replaced all bulbs so hopefully I don't have to do this ever again
These videos are so dang helpful. I'm repairing some front right damage and right rear damage on my 2013 Durango. Luckily I was able to purchase the front right fender already painted. So the rest is just replacing parts. But I get impatient with all the tabs. 🤣 And my mechanic brother is too busy with all his side projects to lend me a hand. I'll be watching this video again for sure. LOL
I have done this once but it was the easier bulb to access. I now need to remove the whole assembly to replace that bulb. What a pain. This time I have LED replacements. Not doing this again! Thanks for the video. Appreciate the detail.
Started to do this for my 2012, but after watching your video I think I’ll buy a trim stick and try again. Very informative! Also, Dodge isn’t alone in the “difficult to access” department, other makes have same/similar issues. Thank You.
Take your time....that trim panel can be held in place very well.....to well. So the chance of breaking something is always there. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
I just changed out the inner drivers side assembly, I cracked it backing into the Chief of Police's mailbox dropping off my daughter friend. Oh boy, anyway I have a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee and used this as a reference. The holders/clips weren't in the exact place. and the inside 10 mm nuts/bolts were both on the inner side, but it worked. It took me 45 minutes to put the back panel back on. Thanks for the assist.
Ouch.....certainly the wrong mail box to back into. I do see some changes from year to year. The service info makes it hard to isolate exactly what years are exactly the same as far as procedures. Glad it all went well and no one ended up in handcuffs lol. Thanks and make sure to subscribe
Thanks for this video! I have one bulb out on each side. As well as different ones. So, for one I will have to take the assembly out completely. This has to be the most complicated bulb change procedure I've ever seen. Dodge couldn't do better than this? I love this vehicle, but wow. Oh well, I have to do it! Thanks again.
+Watchandjewelryloft Your welcome. Yeah there are a few steps for sure. But now you know exactly what they are. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
I did it! One of the green anchors broke! But, the whole panel snapped back on pretty tight and no rattles! I will probably get a new tab anyway though. Thanks again.
the large plastic post located in the middle was a lil tricky to line up. took a piece of paracord to give it a pull and it lined up fine. thank u for the video.
Dave, thanks so much for the video, couldn't have changed out the bulb on my 2013 without this, I would have never known how to get access to it. The trim clips are an absolute nightmare to pop off, I actually cracked the panel. Just wanted to give others a heads up: Be careful, they are REALLY tight, even using a trim stick trying to pop them. Dave makes it look easy, he's a pro and I guess I'm not (haha). Again, great video, Dave - Thanks!!
Funny you should say that....I broke one of the handle cups on the bottom edge of the panel trying to get it off in the video....it got cut out and made it to my personal blooper reel. I never found nothing wrong with screws.....because they came off easy, not like those plastic retainers! I feel your pain. Thanks for the warning to others and make sure to subscribe
Your welcome. I have an out board one that my wife keeps reminding me that I need to replace as well. lol. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
I'm sure as a tech when he is trying to make his money he using the short cut but for your avg diy the method shown is the best way no damage will occur were as the short cut way u may damage a bulb or pull to hard on connections
This video was right on! Not only was I able to replace bith tail lights but completed the project in under 15 minutes. One suggestion is to have a handle piece of rope to support the panel,. I had a bit of difficulty trying tomget the tail plug apart and almost broke it, so I let it hang gemtly until done.
+david fabela Thanks David for the comment and for watching. It helps to have 3 hands lol. Glad to see that it worked out for you. Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't alrady
It really is a fantastic video; Thanks A Ton for posting it! I have a 2013 & it did not appear to have the handy-dandy connector going to the interior lights so had to do it (Very Gently) with the interior panel hanging from wiring but other than that everything was exactly as you said & worked perfectly! 2 thumbs up & liked you on fb. Thanks again for posting, Jim
ab34e ab34e Awesome feedback Jim! It's always great to hear what others think and how the videos helped. Thanks for subscribing and for liking the channel! Enjoy the rest of your weekend
I thought this was going to be a 5 minute job!! HA!! I have a 2011 with one out (gonna replace four).. this is ridiculous. $10 bulbs and probably $75-$100 labor. Thanks for the vid
Your welcome. Yeah some jobs are quick....but in this case it will take a bit of time. At least you will be saving on the labor. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
Great video, would you mind doing one, or linking to one covering the newer Durango's where the Tail light assembly is one piece with backup camera? They seem to have a construction fault letting water in killing the lower part of the LEDs.
I certainly will keep it in mind as a future video.....I have one myself and that would be easy enough to get my hands on. Thanks for watching this video and for the request. Make sure to subscribe.
This is a great video. Thank you so much. You are amazing. I have a Dodge Durango. I love it but doing simple stuff like this is ridiculous. It feels like dodge paid engineers to figure out the most confusing hard difficult way to do anything with this vehicle.
Hey David, I appreciate your video. I was looking to remove the lights on my 2015 Durango and was pulling on the panel and heard some gut wrenching cracking sounds so I just aborted mission lmao. Now Ima go back and finish it so I can paint my tail lights thanks again! Very informative.
+bIakmatt I hadn't checked but I know they eventually changed the taillights to a solid piece on the rear hatch. Yeah....it takes some pulling to get it off for sure. Take you time. Your very much welcome and thanks for watching. Don't forget to subscribe
Thanks for the video...I broke three blue/green clips and one of the clip holders. I'm going to try part store for replacement as for the holder alittle gorilla glue should do it...dodge really should have put an access panel or something but oh well.thanks again for your time making the video👍
Yeah an access panel would have been nice for sure. Those panel snaps will over time start to break when removing....its just hit and miss if they do. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
+Christopher R Cook I do believe that you are correct. Sometimes while filming I overlook the obvious and might leave an item out. Appears so in this case as well lol. I show it to be a 3057 bulb. I would prefer to verify it myself but that is what the service info states in the mean time. Thanks for pointing it out, my apologizes. I do appreciate you watching. Don't forget to subscribe
You have been great on some issues with my 2011-2013 Durango. My 2013 Durango is showing tears on the Liftgate from my dog getting in and out. How can I replace this strip on the Liftgate.
So after getting the panel off the 10mm bolts kept spinning so I couldn’t get the light out. I was still able to get both lights changed without taking the light out. You just need skinny fingers and needle nose pliers. Lol thanks for this vid though!
No excuse for this kind of hassle to change a light bulb. I stood in Auto Zone looking at the book, trying to find a bulb number for this endeavor to no avail. Said “multi” replacements. Then I decided I’d just pop the assembly out real quick, get the number, and run after a bulb. A cursory look at the assembly told me I should watch a video first. Now I’m thinking I should order all LED replacements off Amazon, guessing at the number, and do all of them, one and only one time. Ridiculous. But, thanks for the video.
I was hoping to learn how to replace only the rear inner taillight lens. So I'm assuming you do just as shown, and when you have the taillight assembly off, there's a couple of 10 mm bolts holding the lens on to the bulb assembly. Is that right? Thx
Thanks for the video, really top notch. About the bulbs,is it best to replace all 4 of the inner assembly bulbs on my 2012 Durango? And what about LED replacement bulbs,is there an advantage to them? My Durango lives in Minnesota so maybe a little bulb warmth is good.
+Dan Nowacinski Your welcome. Some times making things look good to the eye means more work to get to in order to repair lol. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
I have a 2012 dodge Durango with the tail lights in the video. I was wondering if those tail light can be swapped with the newer 2014, and 2015 racetrack tail lights on the Durango? or would it create more headaches?
+jolawil Thanks for watching. I can not say for sure if it can or not. I haven't ever checked into it to see if its possible or if the wiring would be the same. I assume the race track lighting uses one connector and that would mean the wiring would be different for sure. Good question....I am curious myself
Hello MotorCity, I really appreciate this clip. My rear right taillight assembly actually fills up with either water, or a mass amount of condensation to become filled with water over time. It's almost like a fishbowl. After I manage to change out the bulb, do you have any recommendations as to how to stop moisture from gathering inside?
The best repair is replacement of the tail lamp housing that getting water in it. A trick you can do to save a few bucks is to drill a small drain or two in the housing....obviously on the back side and in the lowest possible area so that you cant see it from the outside. It wont stop the water from getting in but it will give it a place to go and drain out so that it doesnt stay in side and then cause the bulb to fail again. Its something you can try or replace the housing. Thanks again for watching Kurt!
I would check each one first to make sure they arent blown. Otherwise you will need to chase the circuits and need wiring diagrams. Nothing common that I have seen
Late to the party here, but I have a question. So there's only 2 bulbs in the lift gate tail/reverse light assembly? No actual bulbs for the white/reverse section of that? I know there are bulbs in the white/reverse light part of the assembly in the side section, but only 2 in the lift gate assemly that are actually in the red section? Hope this makes sense. Thanks.
I have a 2013 GC overland with the powered liftgate. How can I open the liftgate manually in case if there is a problem and the liftgate cannot be opened by remote and by the handle and I want to replace the electric lifter or the air strut? Could you please make a video showing that because there is no video on the entire internet showing that till this moment.
Thanks for this video; it's the best I've found on removing the lower trim panel on the liftgate. Unfortunately my lower trim panel broke (cracked many places) during removal. I found the replacement lower trim panel to order, but am wondering if you know how many of each retainer (68087885AA) and clip (68085677AA) I'd need for the new lower trim panel?? From the video, I'm guessing it's the green and yellow clips shown on the back of the trim panel... So I'm thinking 2 RETAINERs (green) and 6 CLIPs (yellow)?? Thanks again.
I know this is an old video, but why not. Where is a reasonable place to buy this inner tail light assembly? For some reason I’ve found several for the drivers side, but need one for the passenger.
hello thank you for your videos I write you from chile south america, could you tell me how to disassemble the plastic cover of the seat dodge durango citadel the pilot's one that goes in the backrest
Great video, very helpful cuz I have the same light out on my Durango. But I do have one question. What was that tool that you used and where could I possibly buy one?
The tools used are plastic trim sticks. They sale them at all the local auto parts stores and places like Harbor Freight as well. The trim panel is held on tight to be prepared to fight with it a bit to get it loose. Thanks for the question and for watching.
Hey greatness...I did that because the lens itself was cracked...so I had to have a new one. but the lights are not working so I am thinking its a fuse. Can you tell me what that fuse would be named? I was looking at the diagram but can't find one labeled where it makes sense. Thanks
Sounds like a possible latch issue. The rear cover will need to be removed the best that you can to try and access the latch to see if anything obvious. Thats not always an easy thing to do. Some have an access panel while others you almost have to damage the rear cover inside to get it off being that the liftgate wont open. Sometimes we can try to override it with the scanners we have....other times not. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe.
Hey guys I’m woundering if you can help me? I’m looking for the cool led tail lights that go from one side of the tailgate to the other side. I live in Australia and no knows what I’m talking about. But I see in a few movies I ve seen these dodge SUV’s with full led lights and they look very cool to the std lights. I hope you can help me find some. Thanks Patt.
A simple google search online shows them for about $60.00. Here is one place I found: www.carlightings.com/dodge-durango-2011-2012-2013-tail-light-inner-left-driver/?gclid=CjwKEAjw5_vHBRCBtt2NqqCDjiESJABD5rCJW0rw4nee1Ho22VxWSlZodE6AOGiCqpIeQeVfu13fjhoC5L3w_wcB . Hope it helps and make sure to subscribe!
what are the bulb parts needed for replacing? I have went to Auto parts stores and they cannot give me a part not found? I also call a dodge dealership in Tucson and they want to sell me the full assemble inner left driver side for $105 and they say the whole thing needs replacing because its LED? please help
Where can I find a replacement for the entire hatch tail light assembly? And also, could I replace the hatch lights and the tail lights with a newer (2014-2019) Durango model?
Its very similar. The inner housings on the rear hatch require the inside trim panel to be removed inorder to access those fasteners. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe
On the Jeep you only need to remove the lower rear hatch interior trim panel. You can then reach inside and access the bulb socket. Hope this helps. Make sure to subscribe when you get time if you havent already.

hey David good video can you do one on replacing the tranfer case oil on 2011-2013 Durango AWD?
Hello MotorCity, I really appreciate this clip. My rear right taillight assembly actually fills up with either water, or a mass amount of condensation to become filled with water over time. It's almost like a fishbowl. After I manage to change out the bulb, do you have any recommendations as to how to stop moisture from gathering inside?
The best repair is replacement of the tail lamp housing that getting water in it. A trick you can do to save a few bucks is to drill a small drain or two in the housing....obviously on the back side and in the lowest possible area so that you cant see it from the outside. It wont stop the water from getting in but it will give it a place to go and drain out so that it doesnt stay in side and then cause the bulb to fail again. Its something you can try or replace the housing. Thanks again for watching Kurt!
all my 4 bubs on the taillights on trunk dont work what could it be
I would check each one first to make sure they arent blown. Otherwise you will need to chase the circuits and need wiring diagrams. Nothing common that I have seen
Great video! Do you know where I can buy the 10mm caps at 1:40? I lost one while doing this last weekend. AutoZone didn't have them.
Great vid👍
Late to the party here, but I have a question. So there's only 2 bulbs in the lift gate tail/reverse light assembly? No actual bulbs for the white/reverse section of that? I know there are bulbs in the white/reverse light part of the assembly in the side section, but only 2 in the lift gate assemly that are actually in the red section? Hope this makes sense. Thanks.
is the backup camera underneath the panel too.
Did he ever say what bulbs those take on the inboard lights?
Great video
Many thanks! Make sure to subscribe.
I have a 2013 GC overland with the powered liftgate.
How can I open the liftgate manually in case if there is a problem and the liftgate cannot be opened by remote and by the handle and I want to replace the electric lifter or the air strut?
Could you please make a video showing that because there is no video on the entire internet showing that till this moment.
Thanks for this video; it's the best I've found on removing the lower trim panel on the liftgate. Unfortunately my lower trim panel broke (cracked many places) during removal. I found the replacement lower trim panel to order, but am wondering if you know how many of each retainer (68087885AA) and clip (68085677AA) I'd need for the new lower trim panel?? From the video, I'm guessing it's the green and yellow clips shown on the back of the trim panel... So I'm thinking 2 RETAINERs (green) and 6 CLIPs (yellow)?? Thanks again.
Do you have a video for getting the Rear blower motor out of these? I have a 2011. Seems like almost no info online about the rear blowers.
I currently dont. I will certainly keep it in mind as a future video. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe.
@@MotorCityMechanic Ok. I just received a new blower. And summer coming, so I'll be putting it in somehow. Love your vids and already subbed 👍
@@watchandjewelryloft4713 Much appreciated
Great video!
Many thanks Omar! Glad that you liked. Subscribe and check out my other videos.
I know this is an old video, but why not. Where is a reasonable place to buy this inner tail light assembly? For some reason I’ve found several for the drivers side, but need one for the passenger.
hello thank you for your videos I write you from chile south america, could you tell me how to disassemble the plastic cover of the seat dodge durango citadel the pilot's one that goes in the backrest
Great video! What are the bulbs numbers for the auto parts store?
They are showing to be 3057 bulbs. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe
The bulb you changed was definitely not 3057, but rather 194
Great video Thank you
Great video, very helpful cuz I have the same light out on my Durango. But I do have one question. What was that tool that you used and where could I possibly buy one?
The tools used are plastic trim sticks. They sale them at all the local auto parts stores and places like Harbor Freight as well. The trim panel is held on tight to be prepared to fight with it a bit to get it loose. Thanks for the question and for watching.
Thank you very helpful video

Hey greatness...I did that because the lens itself was cracked...so I had to have a new one. but the lights are not working so I am thinking its a fuse. Can you tell me what that fuse would be named? I was looking at the diagram but can't find one labeled where it makes sense. Thanks
My liftgate wont operate by pressing the buttons! Why? Thanks in advance
Sounds like a possible latch issue. The rear cover will need to be removed the best that you can to try and access the latch to see if anything obvious. Thats not always an easy thing to do. Some have an access panel while others you almost have to damage the rear cover inside to get it off being that the liftgate wont open. Sometimes we can try to override it with the scanners we have....other times not. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe.
Hey guys I’m woundering if you can help me? I’m looking for the cool led tail lights that go from one side of the tailgate to the other side. I live in Australia and no knows what I’m talking about. But I see in a few movies I ve seen these dodge SUV’s with full led lights and they look very cool to the std lights. I hope you can help me find some. Thanks Patt.
Inner tail lights can be accessed right after the interior cover is removed....easy!!! :-)
Thanks for watching and for the comment. Make sure to subscribe.
Thx. Helped a lot!
is there a way to add reverse lights on the in-body lights
THANK YOU SIR!🙏🏻
What bulb type are these inners? 921s?
Very awesome video, but where can I get the inner assembly tail light for my 2013 Dodge. That's not going to be too expensive.
A simple google search online shows them for about $60.00. Here is one place I found: www.carlightings.com/dodge-durango-2011-2012-2013-tail-light-inner-left-driver/?gclid=CjwKEAjw5_vHBRCBtt2NqqCDjiESJABD5rCJW0rw4nee1Ho22VxWSlZodE6AOGiCqpIeQeVfu13fjhoC5L3w_wcB .

Thanks, could not find the inner tail light just the outer tail light. I greatly appreciate your help videos.

what are the bulb parts needed for replacing? I have went to Auto parts stores and they cannot give me a part not found? I also call a dodge dealership in Tucson and they want to sell me the full assemble inner left driver side for $105 and they say the whole thing needs replacing because its LED? please help
Where can I find a replacement for the entire hatch tail light assembly? And also, could I replace the hatch lights and the tail lights with a newer (2014-2019) Durango model?
I haven't had any luck finding the hatch tail lights online
Why would the make it this annoying. Great video.
It’s not often you ever have to replace it but I agree….could be easier. Thanks for watching
Do you know If the same steps have to be followed on a 2014 grand cherokee?
Its very similar. The inner housings on the rear hatch require the inside trim panel to be removed inorder to access those fasteners. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe
How do you get to the reverse lights?
Is the assembly on a 2011 Laredo the same far as removal rear inner tail light assembly. Can't open my window on the lift gate.
On the Jeep you only need to remove the lower rear hatch interior trim panel. You can then reach inside and access the bulb socket. Hope this helps. Make sure to subscribe when you get time if you havent already.
