Owners of other fourth generation Dodge Caravans, Grand Caravans, Chrysler Voyager or Chrysler Town & Country minivans from 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 may also find the guide to be useful. The 2001-2007 Dodge Caravan uses # 3057 Sylvania light bulbs for both the brake lights and the rear turn signals or "parking" lights. Part number 3057 light bulbs are available from any auto parts store and are made by a variety of manufacturers. If you would like to have brighter tail lights, install some compatible replacement 3057 LED bulbs. The only tool needed to replace the brake light or rear turn signal bulb is a small flathead screwdriver. Plastic Pop Rivet Loosened Two Black Plastic Rivets Removing Tail Light The first step to replacing the brake light or rear turn signal (parking) light bulbs on a 2001-2007 Dodge Caravan is to open the trunk lid. Then locate the two black plastic pop rivets on the side of the tail light assembly. You'll need something flat and thin such as a flathead screwdriver to pop them out. A car key, coin or fingernail might do if you have nothing else. Tail Light Assembly Tab Tail Light Housing Removed Hold on to the tail light assembly after you remove the two black plastic pop rivets to prevent the housing from falling and damaging the van's paint or side body panel. When removing the tail light assembly, you'll notice a black plastic tab that fits into a slot on the side of the Caravan. Light Bulb Covers Squeeze Two Sides Together The two # 3057 light bulbs (brake & parking/signal) can be removed by squeezing the two plastic tabs (one on either side) together until the socket comes loose from the tail light housing. Squeeze & Lift Light Bulb Socket & Bulb Once you have the burnt out bulb and socket removed from the assembly, gently wiggle the bulb straight out of the socket. Replace it with a new Sylvania 3057 LL bulb or a # 3057 bulb from any other manufacturer. If you plan on keeping your Caravan / Voyager / Town & Country for a long time, choose a "LL" "Long Life" light bulb or a compatible 3057 LED bulb.

Hold Assembly Tight Insert Two Pop Rivets Push In Plastic Pop Rivet While still holding the tail light assembly against the car, push the upper part of the plastic pop rivet into the body of the minivan until it snaps into place. Check that the tail light assembly is secure before letting go of it. Finally, test the new brake light or parking/signal light bulb by turning on the hazard lights and having someone step on the brakes.
