each taillight has only 2-3 screws on the top. take it off. and slide taillight to outside <--- and ---->. do not try to pull the taillight it wont come out. that is all easy mod.... good luck!!

If so its easy, take the 3 both out of the top of the lens, then slide to the left for the driver and to the right for the passenger.

Yea wow, talk about jumping the gun. I like to know what I'm getting into before taking things off the car.

Let alone preventing you from driving it...unless you do an "escort taillight" conversion while you wait for your tails to come back like me

Ryan Wolfe did mine. They arrived today, going to pick em up at the Post office tomorrow morning!

I could have done it myself, but it's too meticulous and takes too much effort that I don't have in this 85 degree ALL HUMIDITY weather we've been having.
