How do you remove and reinstall just the lens in the rear light assembly in 2002 SC430 ? I can see that it probably just snaps out using a screwdriver as a pry tool but want to be sure !

 

At the bottom in-board side of the lens assembly is a small bolt covered by a plastic tab. Pry open the plastic tab to access the bolt, loosen bolt and the lens assy can be jiggled loose with a pull backwards ( toward the back of the car ) kind of motion.

 

Thanks but I did remove the whole assembly, however I want to now just remove the Red reflective lens from the assembly frame. It was broken and I have a new one to replace it.

 

I think that would require baking it. I don't think there is a way to remove only the plastic clear part without warming up the adhesive that holds it in place.

 

Thanks.....your link only showed me 5 pics of a black SC430

 

The link below in my posts are part of my signature and showcases my car. It was not a link to help with your problem. But as I said, you probably need to bake the tail light to loosen the adhesive and change the lens. Would honestly make more sense to just buy a new tail light from ebay.
