There are a couple of bolts underneath the taillight... (i think... not 100% sure... it's been a while since i've done this...)
But make sure you remove your rear bumper, to make your life so much easier...

Yes, there are bolts that you can only see when the bumper is removed. It is extremely difficult to take them off with the bumper on, but you don't have to put them back after the new lights are installed. The bolts are only on the sedan lights, not coupe. Also, the bumper is fairly easy to take off. Once you remove the screws in the wheel well and the hidden clips, it just snaps off.

Honda manual has a page about it but you have to find someone nice in service dept. to copy it for you [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

You dont 'have' to remove the bumper, but it does help if you at least loosen it. You can see the extra screw and bracket that attaches to the light if you get right under your bumper. Its a bit hard to explain, but you should be able to tell how to get your light out once you get a look at it.
