Default Rear Tail Light Fixture Removal

Would someone please give a brief explanation on removing the fixture(s)? I have replacements and don't want to hurt anything going into it. Didn't see anything in the tech section. Thanks.

Come on, this should be an easy one, I just want to avoid screwing anything up.

you need a 10mm socket. just remove the panels in the trunk. Then you feel 2 nuts, use the 10mm socket and preferably a small ratchet, to take the 2 nuts off. Then it's easiest to remove either the middle bulb or just the wire from the middle bulb. and you're done! switch them out, put the bulbs in and tighten the screws back up!

the nuts will be on both sides (over and under) of the middle (blinker) bulb

Then you feel 2 nuts...
I hope so !!!

I think he meant for instructions on how to replace the whole tail light housing, not just the bulbs.

that's how you do it. 2 nuts and some wires is all that holds the light fixture there!
