Car: 1996 Chevy Cavalier  
  
 I need to get access to the right rear brake light and turn light to replace the bulbs. I thought it was straight forward, but I am wary of breaking anything to gain acess to the lights.  
  
  
  
 Any tips or advice? Pictures or diagrams would help

Clip on the attachment. It will explain how to change any exterior light on your cavalier. Hope it helps.
