check the faq. but it is very easy . two or three nuts and then 3 lights hold em in then u just slide the housing out.

ok..there are two nuts you hve to remove.
use a 10mm socket for the nuts.
remove the panel on the side in the cargo room. locate the nuts with your fingers and carefully remove them. Unplug the harnes either before removing the nuts or afterwards. carefully remove the tail lights so you dont break an outer clips on the lights. its easy but be carefull. pm me if you need more help.

Yup, just two 10 mm nuts on each side. Should take no more than 30 minutes to change out both sides. I work slow.

i changed mine in freezing weather too, and it was way worth it when i noticed the diffference the TYC's make in the looks of the tail end of my xB.

Those are the Blue Batmobile overlays and I chopped them up to fit that way. the Opr8r sent me a pic of a bB from japan that had the same tailights and I had to have them. Or make them. :D

I think I had to use a universal joint w/ the short 10 mm socket to get the nut off. Man, I'm way too old to remember now. Or did I just use a stubby 10 mm wrench?
