Help: How do you Remove Rear bumper lights???
I need help... I've checked all 3 IS forums and there are no tutorials on how to remove the rear bumper lights
Does anyone know how or have a link to a DIY thread
Thanks in advance

NO, you do not, you are talking about the side marker lights on the bumper right, if so then:
1. get a 10mm offset wrench thats long
2. lay on the ground and position yourself under the light
3. skinny guys find this easy, reach up inside the bumper and find the nut with the big washer behind it holding the light in
4. use the wrench to loosen this nut, and spin it off by hand
5. BAM you just removed the light without having tu pull the bumper
6. if you are not changing the lense, then dont do any of this, just reach up and twist out the bulb socket and replace the bulb
Its not necessary to pull the bumper for this, and frankly, those who do, do it because they were told to, not because they figured it out on their own, and really, would it make sense to have to pull the bumper every time those stupid lights went out.
Not bashing anyone, but its dumb that everybody posts "pull the bumper" when there is an easier way.
