Default Does anyone know how to remove tail lights???//

I've removed the 3 bolts securing the corner tails but there is something that is still holding them in there. The inside tails look fairly straight forward but I'm having problems with the corners.

For the outside lights you have to pull pretty hard to get them out.....there is a slot on the outside of the light....after the 3 inside screws are out pull straight back on the light it will come out.

no prying just pull it.. the clip would come out on it's own when you pull..use extra strength... wah bos baru beli apa nih harus kluar2 segala? IS-F Tails?

tape off the sides around the taillights so that if u pull it too hard, u dont accidentally scratch it.

a good idea might be to unplug the harness BEFORE pulling the corner tails out.

the corner tails will come out after removing the three screws, but it'll take a bit of prying.

Hehe, you won't break anything. You just have to put a little muscle into it, once you remove the screws and harness from the lights. You'll laugh once you realize how easy it is.
