JDM tailight install???

Whats up everyone,

Im installing my JDMs, but im not sure what to do with the two bolts on furthest from the middle, that have that rubber cover over them. It seems like i have to just force those out, but it seems like it would wear down the sides of the frame portion that its attached to if i do that.

Can anyone give me a hand?

Here's how easy it is - we changed mine at night in a parking lot with a screwdriver...

1. Open the trunk

2. Unscrew the bolts

3. Ease the lights out

4. Unplug the harness.

5. Reverse the sequence and voila, there you go.

ok just so anybody else who installs these tailights knows, the outter pop ins will stick onto the light housing when your remove it... the center one should come right out and remain in the bumper. leaving the rubber condom on the plastic pop piece so the edges are not damaged.. from there i grabbed it around the sides with the grabber part of a wire stripper and yanked it off.. it takes a little bit of force, so i suggest you get everything else completed first. Your lights wont go on without these so dont even think about it
