Summary
- If the Chevy Trailblazer tail light malfunctions or ceases to function at all, here are some of things you have to check: fuse, wiring, bulb, socket, lens, and switch.

The Chevrolet Trailblazer is built for city cruising and a little bit of off-roading on the side. Once the Chevy Trailblazer tail lights go out, the vehicle is at risk of getting rear-ended. It will also be an inconvenience for other drivers on the road, especially when driving at night or through rain and snow. You must fix any broken Trailblazer tail light to ensure driving safety.
Common causes of tail light problems
If the Chevy Trailblazer tail light malfunctions or ceases to function at all, here are some of things you have to check:
Fuse
Check the fuse. When tail lights fail, this is where you usually start to trace the source of the electrical problem. A vehicle manual will help you locate the fuse box and identify the fuse for the tail lights. See if the metal inside the fuse is broken or fractured and needs to be replaced. If the fuse seems intact, then you have to inspect the wiring next.
Wiring
Follow the wires that lead to the tail lights. The wiring may be loose or disconnected and may need re-attachment, especially when the brake lights still work even though the tail lights will not turn on. You may use a wiring diagram to help you access the wiring. If the wires appear severed or corroded, they need to be fixed. If not, then you will have to check for burned-out bulbs.
Bulb
Disconnect the bulb to see if it is already burned out or if the filament inside it is still intact. You can simply replace any burned-out bulb. If the bulbs seem fine, check the socket.
Socket
Inspect the socket. Look for any sign of burnt contacts, corrosion, or damage.
Lenses
See if there is any crack on the lens. Water and dirt may get through the cracks or holes on the lens and cause the bulb to burn out or the tail lights to malfunction.
Switch
Test the switch to see if it is working or if there is power getting through. A wiring diagram will help you identify the wire connecting the switch to the tail lights.
What to consider when buying a Trailblazer tail light replacement
To get exactly what you need for your tail light replacement, take time to check all these before making a purchase:
Fit
Make sure that the tail light assembly you will get for your Chevy will fit perfectly. The best way to find one is by specifying not just the make but also the year, model, and even the trim level of your vehicle, as tail lights may differ in shapes and designs.
Color
Check out the tail light housing options and lenses. They come in different colors and finish. Aside from clear, red, and smoked lenses, the tail lights may also come in chrome or black interior housing. See to it that the lenses or housing color is DOT-approved and street-legal.
Light source
Choose between halogen tail lights and LED tail lights. LED tail lights are more expensive, but these upgrades to the traditional automotive lights offer the benefits of increased energy efficiency, longer life span, and better visibility.
Location
Check whether or not the Chevrolet Trailblazer tail light assembly is for the driver or passenger side. See to it that you are getting the right one if you are buying per piece and not getting a complete kit.
Selection
Figure out whether you need OEM replacements or would opt for performance upgrades. This will trim down the search.
You may shop for OEM parts from the dealership and get exactly the same assembly your vehicle came with when it rolled out of the factory. These parts guarantee standard OEM quality and fit. As an alternative, you may check out some aftermarket options from various automotive light manufacturers. The price ranges vary widely for these options since you may be looking through a larger variety. However, the level of quality is not the same for all aftermarket products, so you have to check more thoroughly.
Price
Compare the prices. They vary based on quantity—whether you are buying a set, a kit (complete with headlights or the third brake light), or per piece (driver or passenger side)—as well as the design and quality. The price also differs per year and trim level of your Chevy Trailblazer. The price ranges from around $50 to more than $250.
Common Problems with Chevrolet Trailblazer Tail Light Assembly
In America, rear-end collisions are the most common car-related accidents. One way to prevent them is having functional tail lights all the time. Plus, driving with busted tail lights can get you pulled over by the traffic police and issued a ticket. But even though it is built to last a long time, the Chevrolet Trailblazer tail light assembly can develop a number of problems that will cause it to malfunction or not function at all. Here are the most common problems you may encounter with your tail lights. It is important to know how to identify them so that you can be able to provide the exact solutions with efficiency.
Blown bulbs
When one bulb is not lighting up, it is most likely blown. Open the hatch and take the tail light assembly out. Disconnect the electrical plug that runs to the tail light to pull the electrical connection apart. Take the bulb off of the assembly and inspect its filament to see if it is broken. If it is, you will need to replace the bulb with a new one.
Damaged wires
If the trouble is not a blown bulb, check the wires running to the tail light housing next. There may be a short or some frays on the wire. If you confirm damages on the wires, have it checked and serviced by a professional mechanic to avoid other problems.
Blown fuse
When there are multiple bulbs that do not work at the same time, a blown fuse is most likely the cause of the problem. Pop up the hood and check to see if the tail lights fuse is blown. Inspect it, and if you see a thin metal strip inside that is broken, then the fuse is definitely blown.
Condensation
Take a close look at your Chevrolet Trailblazer tail light assembly and check to see if there is any moisture inside. The water droplets that line the inner walls of the tail light assembly lessen the amount of perceivable light, which can cause a rear-end collision. This problem is usually caused by having worn out or brittle seals around the bulbs. Also, if you live in an area where rain comes frequently, this can become an utterly annoying problem.
Your Chevrolet Trailblazer tail light assembly may not be a main engine component that takes you to places, but it is a vital part that keeps you visible from the rear especially when you are braving heavy rains and thick fog. To keep your tail light assemblies working, just do the following simple measures.
Remove condensation.
If your tail light has water enough for your pet fish to swim in, you have quite a bit of a problem. Take off the tail light assembly from your Trailblazer and drain as much water as you can. Then use a hair dryer to dry up all the droplets and eliminate the water vapor that may still linger inside the housing. Put the dryer to maximum and hold it directly towards the moisture until they disappear. Then leave it outside for 20 minutes. If you return to it and see some more moisture, repeat the process of drying it up using the hair dryer.
Seal the openings.
To prevent condensation from forming inside your tail light housing, replace the rubber seals that have become brittle and cracked from all the high temperature. For this, you can use the plumber's tape or Teflon tape to wrap the outer ring of the headlight bulb sockets. Make sure you wrap it enough so that it will not allow any more moisture inside the housing.
Remove corrosion.
If there is rust and corrosion present in the bulb socket, it is important that you get rid of them to ensure proper light output. Use a car battery terminal brush and put the pointed end inside the socket and twist it. This will remove the rust and other foreign debris from the socket.
Restore from scratches.
Since the tail lights are exposed to various elements of nature, they can get scratched, scuffed, and hazed. To remove these unsightly marks, spray the tail light lenses with an automotive soap-and-water solution. For about 20 seconds, rub the surface from side to side with 1500-grit sandpaper that has been soaked in the solution 20 minutes earlier. Then clean it thoroughly with the soapy solution, and dry it with a clean microfiber cloth afterwards. Apply some liquid automotive paint polish, the use the applicator pad to rub it in a circular motion. Once done, rub off the residue using another microfiber cloth.
Are all Chevrolet Trailblazer tail lights legal?
All direct-replacement Chevrolet Trailblazer tail lights are DOT- approved. However, when buying tail lights in person, be wary of counterfeit products. Signs of a counterfeit include the absence of DOT approval and misspellings and/or grammatical errors on the packaging.
How much do Chevrolet Trailblazer tail lights cost?
The prices range from a little over $60 to well over $300. The price depends on the package selected—specifically the type and quantity of bulbs and the quality of the casing. LED tail lights are sometimes twice the price of halogen lights. Some tail lights are sold individually (for either side) and some are sold in sets of two. In some cases, the bulbs are not even included.
What color options are available for Chevrolet Trailblazer tail lights?
Color options include clear, red, smoked, and platinum-smoked plastic lenses. Amber-colored tail lamps are prohibited by the Department of Transportation (DOT).
What are advantages and disadvantages of using LED tail lights on a Chevrolet Trailblazer?
LED bulbs require virtually no maintenance and are known to consume a lot less energy, be more resistant to shock, and shine much brighter than halogen bulbs. They are also known to last much longer with a useful life expectancy ranging from 35,000 to 50,000 hours. Unlike halogen bulbs, LEDs don't abruptly fail or burn out. Instead, they slowly dim over a long period of time. However, because of its superior quality, LEDs are also more expensive than halogen bulbs. They are also more keenly affected by the surrounding temperature. Using LED tail lights in a high-temperature environment for too long can cause them to fail.
What kinds of aftermarket bulbs are available for Chevrolet Trailblazer tail lights?
The most common aftermarket bulbs available are halogen bulbs and LED (light-emitting diode) bulbs.
