Anyone know how to replace a tail light on a 96 Chevy Lumina or know any good sites on the web that could tell me how?. I don't have a manual, and I can't figure it out...
Frustrated.
Anyone know a good car site?

Your local library should have a repair manual.

The Chilton manual should have something but I think that it wouldn't cost a fortune to have a mechanic actually do the work because these cars have some pretty funky designs on the most basic stuff it's unreal . I find it hard to believe that people can actually come up with the stupid ideas that they manufacture these days .

Odds are the light replacement will be very simple.
Look inside your trunk where the light is and you should see a plastic object in a socket with wires coming out of it. The part with the wires will likely just need to be gently rotated out of the socket. ** Don't try to force anything or you could break it. All of these parts are designed to be removed very easily **
Once you have the bulb and the wire harnes out, the bulb is removed by gently pushing it inward while turning it.

I fixed it myself, yay! I didn't even need the manual. All I needed to know was how to screw.

There ya go! I admire a woman who is not afraid to work on her own car.

However, with that statement, I do have to wonder if you got some guy to do it for you.
