open trunk, remove lining covering the tail lights. Proceed to disconnect plug from lights. Unscrew bolts holding down lights. Remove tail lights. DONE =)

Yeah, everything is pretty easily seen. If you pull on the light and it doesn't come out, you forgot something.

If you removed everything and it still doesnt come out, keep pulling, its the black rubber sealer stuff holding it in, its pretty sticky, but not unmanagable. Make sure you have new black sealer stuff aka butyl rubber seal ready for when you reinstall

take the center taillight out first, then the left and right.

no need to undo the lower bolts that hold the metal under taillight trim

This, make sure to take the center garnish out or you will crack/break it.

1) remove center panel
2) remove tail lights
3) do it on a hot day so that the sealant loosens

done and done

Send a message via AIM to sr20sean
come on guys help the guy out.

1) open trunk
2) remove liner
3) unplug lights
4) theres a few clips that are holding the trunk release that are clipped over the end of a few of the nuts.
5) remove the 8mm nuts that hold in the center garnish
6) remove center garnish
7) remove the 8mm nuts that hold the side tail lights
8) remove tail light (you will have a bit of a rough time being that there is quite a bit of that rubber sealant around them holding them in. just wiggle)
9) repeat on the other side.
10) you are finished.

install:
1) whole thing above just backwards. before installing make sure to use new rubber sealant or they will leak.
