note that the outer tail lights may be difficult to remove. anticipate using lots of "elbow grease".

ah i had this question a good 3 months ago. its pretty easy and self explanatory. If i had to say, the hardest part would be.... the unplugging of the wires process. it may be a bit hard to reach here and there and push the locks in the right direction to unplug them. other than that, quite easy! you will do fine, and good luck!

(I hope you got the F tails xD, or LED both is great )

^^ Yeah very self explanatory, just remove the carpet and you'll see everything you need to take out. For the others plyers may be useful.
