Liftgate Light Removal/Installation

NOTE:
  • Fogging or dew condensation may occur on the inside of the liftgate light because of a natural phenomenon occurring as a result of a temperature difference between the interior and exterior of the liftgate light. However, it has no effect on the light performance because the phenomenon is resolved when temperature inside the liftgate light rises after the back-up light turns on or a period of time has elapsed.
