Lamp, Tail Stop Turn: Removal: Bulb

Each rear lamp unit for both the Chrysler and Dodge versions of this vehicle includes a single incandescent bulb for the Reverse (or backup) lamp function and multiple Light-Emitting Diode (LED) units for the park (or tail) lamps, the brake (or stop) lamps, rear side marker lamps and turn signal lamps. The incandescent bulb is available for individual service replacement; however, if an LED unit is ineffective or damaged, the entire rear lamp unit must be replaced.
