So how hard can it be to remove the taillights. LoL I duno I took the 2 top bolts off and the other 2 on the lower part of the taillight will NOT MOVE. I mean if I turn them any harder I know I will brake em & yes I am loosening em LoL. Maybe I trying to unscrew to wrong bolts? I feel like such an *** . Anyone have a link to a step by step thing I searched cant find it.

Those two aren't bolts, they're welded nuts for the plastic things that hold the taillights on.

Slide the taillight outward from the center of the car (it takes a little bit of force), and they'll come right out.

there should be like 4 bolts on the pass side and drivers...when u open the hatch ..after u get the screws out u have to push the tailight inwards and to the right ( if its the pas side) and they should slide out

But everyone above is right, they slide out to the side, you can't pull them straight back.

I think the hardest part was putting the lights back in...granted i was swapping mine to '99 spec. But i couldn't manage to squeeze the pegs back into the body of the car...i was Sooooo afraid of breaking one of them, but eventually it worked.
