Hey Everyone,
Here is another good Video on how to replace the Tail Light on your PT. This is also the same method used to replace your Factory Tail Lights with any Aftermarket Tail Lights as well.
As you can see, the trickiest part is trying to get the plastic socket plugs where the bulbs go into, to line up correctly, but they are not that hard. It just takes some patience.
And last, but not least, if you compare the older 01-05 PT Tail Lights, verses the newer 06- present PT's, you will notice that starting in 06 they had a slight change in the look of the Tail Lights where the turn signal areas were orange, now are clear. Now I personally really like the newer look better, and had a good friend who had replaced his lights with Aftermarket ones so I got his old ones. The reason I mention this is, all Chrysler PT Tail Lights are universal fit which means the same Tail Lights for a 2010, will fit into a 2001 Model. The only thing that is slightly different are the plastic plugs that hold the bulbs in place, so make sure if you pick up some newer Tail Lights, that you also see if you can pick up the Bulb Holders as well to assure proper fitment. Here is a before and after pic for you. I think it has a kinda cool subtle Custom look to it.
Before:
And After:
Notice how the clear part matches up with the back up lights better than the orange. I recon just something different.
Anyways, you guys go easy, and I will catch ya later.

Then he didn't even know the little rubber hose is to let the tail breath and stop moister from building up. No offense, but I wouldn't let him change my front porch light. LOL
