To remove this 2002 Grand Caravan tail lamp assembly I opened the rear hatch to gain access to the mounting panel.

The tail light assembly on this model was attached by plastic clips.

Some models use screws to secure the red plastic light housing.

I used a tack puller and lifted the center out of the clip. Then I pried out the base.

View of plastic clips removed.

When I pulled the lens out, the wire harness and connector was exposed.

Using the end of the tack puller, I pushed out the red lock tab on the wire connector.

Now that the connector was unlocked I was able to push down on the release tab and pull the connector out.

I used a flat screwdriver to push in on the end tabs of the bulb socket

After the socket was removed, I was able to pull the bulb straight out of the tail light assembly.

This is a #3157 clear bulb.

To replace the socket I just pushed it in and the tabs held the bulb socket in place.
