where the hell is the last bolt?!?!?!? im going crazy trying to look for it!!!! lol. man, are you guys sure theres 4 bolts?? I have a sedan, and there are 3 bolts in the back of the taillights and 2 bolts underneath along with a screw. i took out all these bolts and it seems like a metal plate is holding it to the bumper or something. i have no idea how to take this off.

oh and thanks again for the quick responses!! you guys are the best!!

oh....a sedan.....I have a coupe, so disregard my previous statement since I don't know about the sedan.

Yeah, the Sedan is a bitch. In addition to the obvious three, remove the two bolts under the car and one phillips screw between those two bolts. Then you'll just have to rock the tail lights out of place.

I'm confused! I choose to be that way though. I like how you have to look under the car to find the fourth bolt that holds the tails in. Can you tell I only read the the first to threads???

There's been several good DIYs for this already, but in short, you need to either take off the bumper or unscrew a bunch of the bumper screws and push the bumper down while pulling the tails out.

wo now.... after you peel the trunk liining back, there are 4 screws that need to come out - nothing under the car, or on the outside... disconnect the wires from the bulbs and with a little pull, the taillights should come right out... ive done this twice.... its easy as hell... just PLEASE dont take the bumper off, somebodys trying to mess you up.. which is really uncool...

If its a sedan, there are bolts on the outside that have to come off. If you have a coupe, 4 bolts and make sure nothing is snagging as far as the wire harnesses go.

Dude said it was a sedan. There are brackets underneath the taillights that basically hold it onto the bumper. I had to do it myself.

You can try ripping it out without loosening the bumper, but I was pulling to the point where it felt like something would break if I pulled any harder.

hey guys thanks for the help. with a whole $hitload of tugging and a little more pulling...i finally got those bastards outta there. Just one problem now......my brake light on the right side isnt working anymore?? you think i could've blown a fuse or something?? cause i checked all my other lights and they work perfectly fine. Its just the one bulb that isnt working. any ideas?? the bulb looks fine, but it just doesnt work anymore. What kind of bulb do i need to replace it with??
