APPLIED VEHICLES:

SERVICE INFORMATION
The mounting stud diameter for the high-mounted stop lamp service part has changed from
5 mm to a 6 mm.
If for any reason the high-mounted stop lamp needs to be replaced, the mounting hole will
need to be enlarged to 6.5 mm (¼ inch) as follows:
1. Remove the high-mounted stop lamp.

For high-mounted stop lamp removal, refer to the Electronic Service Manual: Section
DRIVER CONTROLS > EXTERIOR LIGHTING SYSTEM > REMOVAL AND
INSTALLATION > STOP LAMP.
2. Enlarge the high-mounted stop lamp’s mounting holes (see Figure 1 on page 2) using a
6.5 mm (¼ inch) drill bit.
To avoid damage to the vehicle, apply light pressure to the drill while
drilling. Excessive force may cause the drill bit to penetrate too far and damage the
headliner.
3. Apply touch-up paint to the mounting holes to protect the bare metal.
4. Install the new high-mounted stop lamp using M6 mounting nuts. Refer to the PARTS
INFORMATION on page 2.
