Installation

Removal of Factory Taillights:

  1. Open the trunk.
  2. Remove carpet from trunk and place in safe place.
  3. Remove plastic trunk trim by lifting the center of the four quick fasteners. You can use needle nose pliers to grip, or flat head screwdriver or finger nails to lift center and pull upwards until plastic fastener pops out.

  4. Remove 2 Upper Screw Clips on each side. Push the plastic cover against the trunk frame and turn fasteners enough to pull loose. Use your fingers for this operation as the plastic is thin and subject to damage if pliers or other tools are used.

  6. Loosen tail light assembly, using 7/16” deep socket, by removing the 3 nuts holding it in place. (In hindsight, you can just use your hands to turn the socket as the nuts are just hand tight). Place nuts and the rubber gaskets around them in safe place for use in installing your new tail lights.

  4. Before tightening tail light assembly into place, check the lights to make sure they are working properly. Check running lights, brake lights, turn signal and back up lights, if any are not working you can gentle remove the tail light assembly and check the bulbs and connections. Replace bulbs as necessary and reinstall as above.

  5. After double checking the nuts are snug and making sure the new tail light assembly does not move, you now can just repeat the process on the other side. Reinstall your plastic trunk assembly and carpet and enjoy.
