Exclamation How to take off Rear light covers?!

Hey guys, I am in the middle of replacing my turn signal bulb in my Fd and I cannot figure out how to get to the bulbs.

Has anyone done this before I have my car apart and need to get it done tonight or very soon so that it is legal any help would be great!

Thanks

Access panel for the bulbs? have you actually pulled out the panel and looked it is kind of like a door that opens up to a brick wall. Anyway there are a couple of screws that hold the light on and after yo uremove them yo umust pull the light assy with quite a bit of force to unsnap it. Then you will find the bulbs.

Just to clarify a little.

Once you remove the 3 screws in the rear for each light assembly, PUSH the lights out to the SIDES of the car.

So, if you are removing the RIGHT tail light, push it to the RIGHT. The left one, push to the left.

I love this forum!!! everyone always pitched in and gets you help.
Thanks a lot guys!
I got the lights replaced and its looking great!
The suggestion on the 99 spec. replacement reminded me of wear to find a how-to on it and it was easy sailing from there.
Thanks again!

Pushing from the side makes it much easier. Damn Japanese with their crazy machines
