And don't pull to hard to release the clips cause it's plastic and will tear apart easy. I almost had a problem with that.

I just installed new taillights on my sedan. I did not pull off my bumper. I pulled my car rear tires on a set of ramps and unscrewed the bottom screw under the lights. I also took out the nuts on the bracket but they didn't do anything I don't think. I had to used a bit of force to get the taillights out but I didn't break anything.

your probably better off just removing the bumper, there are only half adozen screws/plugs to remove and it makes taking the lights out alot easier. I just did my tails the other day and had a great time just taking it all apart

Yeah it was hard reaching my hand behind the bumper to get to the screws. So it probally would be easier to take off the bumper.

two bolts up by the lights the black covers take them off thats where they are. Then you take the screws off from the sides and pull on the sides and you will be all set.
