The first generation of the Jeep Liberty debuted in the 2002 model year and the second generation of the car went to dealerships in 2008. Removing the taillight may be necessary if you need to change one of the bulbs or if the taillight has been damaged. Removing the Liberty's taillight is a straightforward task that should take less than 10 minutes that requires no special tools.
Shut the Jeep Liberty's engine off and step to the back of the vehicle. Open the cargo door fully. Inspect the inside edge of the taillight. Find the two screws that secure it.
Remove the two screws from the inside edge of the taillight. Place the screws somewhere safe to re-install the taillight.
Pull the taillight firmly out of place. With the screws out, the taillight should slide out easily.
Squeeze the tab on the electrical connector. This attaches to the taillight to the vehicle and powers the bulb strip inside. Unplug the connector to separate the taillight.
