Dodge Repair: 2007 durango, pin fasteners, rubber grommets

Question
how do I replace the passenger side tail light assembly on a 2007 durango?

Answer
LAMP

NOTE:  The appearance of the Dodge and Chrysler rear lamp units is unique, but the service procedures for removing and installing either lamp are the same.





1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Open the liftgate to access and remove the two plastic push-pin fasteners (3) that secure the rear lamp unit (2) to the side jamb of the liftgate opening pillar (1).







3. Pull the outboard side of the rear lamp unit rearward far enough to unsnap the two ball studs on the outboard side of the lamp housing from the two rubber grommets (4) in the quarter panel (3).  
4. Disengage the lock feature and disconnect the wire harness connector (2) from the lamp socket plate connector (1) (Dodge), or the lamp pigtail wire connector (Chrysler).
5. Remove the lamp from the lamp opening of the quarter panel.
