Default Two quick things... Selling the H3 and tail light

First question is my right tail light is working but the brake light on the right side is not working. In addition the right turn signal blinks fast does anyone know what this is? I tried to replace the bulb on the tail light but I honestly can get the thing out it seems like it would break.

In addition any thoughts if I was to sell the H3 what I would get for it?

2007 H3 Black
Two tone black and morocco leather
Navigation
DVD in the head rest
21,000 miles
6 year certification and I am only 6 months into it

The tail light bulb is a dual filament. One is for your tail light, the other is for your brake/turn signal. The flasher is rapid because it is indicating the bulb is burned out (the filament for brake/turn). (I thought everyone knew that?)

With the back door open, you remove the two screws on the inboard side of the lens. Then you pull the whole tail light assembly off. The outboard side is held with push fasteners that can be damn hard to get out and might even be damaged in the process. If they are damaged beyond use, you should be able to replace them from you local auto parts house or a GM supplier - shouldn't be too expensive. For the record, I did say shouldn't be, not won't.

Keep in mind if you use the Kelly Blue Book value you will get trade in value, not retail value what a dealer will sell for. I know this because i'm looking to get rid of my 09 Adv. pkg with 11,5oo miles in great shape. retail value is $29,500. trade in value is $24,000. i already walked away from a dealer that offered me $ 23,000

you get the option of private party value, trade-in value, and retail value(all with explanations) on the last step

Thats corrct. i;m just saying if you take your H3 to a dealer and want to trade it in, you wont get retail value- the igh number . thats what they sell it for. They will give you the lowest number- trade in value. i know because i'm trying to sell it now.
