DIY on installing Alteeza Tail Lights?

Ok, I know about 50 people will say that I should use the search engine but the search engine sucks ***. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG]
But, if anyone has any links to an installation guide on how to install Alteeza tail lights, I would appreciate it because I am installing them next week. I have a 2002 LX sedan just to clarify.

Thanx in advance

1. unplug old tail lamps
2. take out old tail lamps, something like 4 bolts, if they dont come out, check behind carpet for bolts you missed
3. put in altezzas
4. plug in altezzas
5. +500hp

and next time PLEASE SEARCH. there is absolutely nothing wrong with the search engine, it isn't even hard to use unless you're a monkey.

damn yo! 500+hp really? **** man! I'ma bout to go take me on a 'stang!

Anybody who had hands-on toys (lego, erector, k'nex) will find installing the tezzas easy as hell. I put them on in 30 minutes, and that was years before I even knew this site was around.

The sedan tails are a lot harder to do. There are two screws for each assembly that are behind the bumper. You can try to reach underneath, but most likely the bumper will have to come off. I took mine out to get the screws off and it wasn't too bad.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

30 mins? even that is way too long. But yeah for the sedan it is more complicated. Like he said you probably have to end up taking the bumper off.

Don't just search the Tech forum. Click the big shiny button that says SEARCH on the top right corner of the screen and search the whole site. I know for sure there is a DIY for both coupe and sedan tails on here because I have found and read them both. They were probably in the Parts and Products forum.

Sedan Tails

So why not try searching more than one forum before you go ranting about searching and finding nothing.

Aite man. Take out the bolts 6 bolts (3 on each side) that u find in your trunk. Crawl under the car and look up, youll see a screw on both sides. Take em out, but dont bother with the screws that are horizontal. Just use alot of muscle and yank your light out. I think i only broke part of one light when i did it.
