We will also go thru the options for repairing, or replacing, this part when it has suffered rainwater intrusion into the inside. The vehicle illustrated is a 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt LS. However, the tail lamp housing replacement procedure will be the same for any Chevy Cobalt or Pontiac G5 four door sedan in the years this video covers. Also applicable to the non-USA models Pontiac G4 and Pontiac Pursuit.
