Default Removing tail lights?

Greetings All!

Just bought some new tail lights and hope to have them by this weekend. Can anyone tell me how to remove the stock tail lights? I haven't looked much into it yet but any help would save me tons of time.

Just PM me or post it here for everyone to see.

Thanks! :D

There are just 2 bolts holding on each rear tail light. Take off the cover on both sides in the rear hatch and then remove the two nuts that are holding each light on. Unplug the connector wire and you are ready for the install of your new tail lights. It should take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes per tail light depending on your mad mechanical skills.

Deputy Dawg.

P.S. check out my profile for a pic of my tail lights.

Hey Deputy Dawg,

Thanks for the information. I'll look into it further. Again I haven't had time to look into the matter but you'll save me tons of time. BTW, I like your tails lights. I had planned on buying those but I didn't care for the black edge for my Polar White xB. I went with a lamp with clear lens.
Thanks again.

Feel free to check my profile.

Dawg, those lights are tight. Perfect for the Camo. They look like the ones that were on the RS1 that they brought to Palo Alto. I'm working on something else to darken the edges of mine...

You need to list those in your mods.

Dear Dawg,

Thanks again,

I looked into the matter and it took me about 10 minutes. Hardest part was trring to figure out the nut size. 10mm should anyone need to know.

Thanks again.
