Replacing rear turn light

The left rear turn light bulb went bad in my truck and I need to replace it. My question is the following:
How do I remove the Light enclosure? is it the two screws when I open the tail gate, in the sides? Please help, I do not want to try something stupid and break it. Thanks!!!

I have taken my Taillights off like ten times in the past month haha...

Yes the two screws are to be taken off, i think its a 10 or 8mm bolt which can be removed by a socket wrench...and you have to get a grip on the tail light and basically wiggle it out of the holes its in...Feels like you are going to break it at first but keep wiggling and it should come off... I replaced the 3157bulbs with LEDS and then added tint tails so I have taken the tails off and on quiet a bit in the past couple weeks

The LEDS I purchased are online at V-Leds.com... Here is a thread with the links...

Leds!!

I visit the sites but they don't have the products anymore. I was looking around and found some LEDs to replace the 3157 bulbs in the truck. I'm confuse, these bulbs have the turnsignal and stop light included. do they work separately or they work at the same time? wouldn't I need bulbs that have two separate circuits? Can you help me with some part numbers for the other bulbs? I would like to replace the reverse lights as well as the rear light above the cabin.
Thanks!!

They must be popular... Well you can get the 921's to go inside the interior... and the 921 is also the light for the third brake light... Here is another thread that you can read... it has more pics of the interior leds...

Interior Light Replacement

The LEDS that I have work both running and turn signal... you just have to buy the resistor so you don't have hyper flashing or no flashing at all...

I will search the web to see if I can find those leds for you...

Here are the reverse lights on ebay...

But I can't seem to find the Red leds...hmmm I'll keep checking for you..
