4.
Next locate the push on plastic fasteners on the trunk panel behind the taillight and pull them right off of the stud.
5.
You should now be able to take out the center trunk panel. Remove it and then take the side inner trunk panels out of
the car. You now have full access to the tail lights.
6.
You should see 4 long studs with bolts on them behind the panels that you just removed. Using your 7/16in socket and
wrench remove the 4 bolts from the tail light studs. Be sure you don’t lose these bolts, as you will need them to put back
on your new tail lights.
Here you can see what is behind the side trim panels, the four studs and bolts that hold the tail light housing to the car.
7.
Once you have the four nuts removed, carefully pull the tail light housing away from the body of the car, making sure
you don’t scratch your bumper or quarter panel.
8.
With the housing removed, make a note of which bulbs go in which position, so you don’t mix them up when you go to
re-install them.
