Pster Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I just had it in the shop for break work and really don't want to spend the time OR money to go do it again. Replacing it seems simple enough but I don't know where to begin! With my luck I'd break the rear light trying to take it off! Any ideas?:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2jnb Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I think it depends on the type of van you have......some are easier than others. We always change our own because we can't justify the cost of the labor of doing it........ What type of van do you have? I will ask my hubby if it is an easy change or not.....

*anj* Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 It is really simple. Your owner's manual will tell you what type of bulb you need, and it even has instructions. The big thing is to make sure you don't touch the new bulb with your fingers because the oil in your skin is bad for it. If you go to a place like Pep Boys you will probably even find an employee who would be happy to give you advice and encouragement for free. We recently changed one on our Town and Country, and we are not all that mechanically inclined. Easy peasy!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Bay Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 DH used to change them in our former Grand Voyageur with ease, and it's much the same as a Grand Caravan. Now that you have instructions, you ought to be fine! Of course, I can't speak from personal experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pster Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 course I was all set with my instructions in hand AND forgot to go buy the light bulb when I was out this afternoon. Duh! ....and I'm supposed to be able to do the light bulb?? good grief!:rolleyes::o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Good luck!! I'm not sure if it was just us or what. We have a Chevy Venture. We tried to replace the front light. Worked great for a while, then we noticed the crack in the plastic and all the water in it!! The light still worked, so we didn't take it in. The last time we were in, we had the guy look at it - and it cost us $400 to replace the entire light!! :mad: So, now I just have it done for me.
