open hatch
unscrew the philips head screws holding down little black plastic parts..(3 on each side light, 4 for middle light) remove plastics unbolt 10mm bolts (2 on sides, 3 or 4 for center...) lift up center light, disconnect wires. grasp the side lights, pull towards the outside of the car. the little clips should eventually let the lights pop out.... make sure you twist and remove bulbs before walking to far from the car with side tail lights in hand... hope that helps ![]()

just to clairify, the outside lights dont have any bolts, just the screws and they pop off. the center light is the only one bolted on.

I just removed mine this past Sunday. The mid section was no problem at all.
The side ones you have to be gentle with a bit. After you've removed the screws you have to push it inwards towards the center. Really, its not that difficult. Havent put them back yet. I wonder if that is going to be difficult. |
