pop the trunk and ull see 2 phillips screws holding each light in. Unscrew em and there are 2 ball and socket joints that hold the other end of the tail in. Tug the taillight out gently.

No, the whole tail light pops right out. Unscrew the screws, grab each side of the tail light, and just wiggle back and forth until it pops off. Then you just unclip the wiring and you're good to go!

hi discreet, thanks a lot.

i have done that last night and it works !

surprisingly, its not very tight ... and it's kinda lose ...

probably cause it's taken out a couple of times when changing the

bulbs . any solutions to tighten it ?

The other thing is does anyone of you have problems with depo gun metal tail

lights ? especially water leakage ? The sealing doens't look very good with the

large gaps ...

lastly, thanks a lot for all the help.
