Help, Daughter has bought some Altezza tail lights off e-bay, I am having one heck of a time removing the stock tail lights. Have removed the three nuts, 1 screw, and clear clip; the tail lights are loose but won't come out. Looks like some plastic tabs on the bottom of light are in a bracket under neath, however, deep 8 mm is too deep and regular is too shallow.
Know you guys have taken these off in your sleep so help an old guy make his daughter happy.

You have to remove your rear bumper in order to gain access to some bolts on the bottom of the outer lights.

Theres 2 bolts on the top covered by black plastic covers and around 4 black clips on the bottom of the bumper. After removing these you should be able to pull the bumper off.

I just broke the plastic brackets at the bottom, cause they're pointless anyways, ur fine with the 3 screws.
