I spent countless hours doing this simple job before I realized that you must remove the bumper in order to replace the tail lights on the outside part of the car. This is due to the brackets that are attached to the bottom of the tail lights that prevent you from just pulling out the lights after removing the 3 bolts.

Just wanted to save some of your time if you guys are planning to change your sedan tail lights in the future.

No I tried searching first and I couldn't find anything about it.
Maybe I just didn't enter the right key words though..

heres a pic from my tails removal.. it shows both ways the tails will end up.. you dont HAVE to remove the bumper.. but it keeps you from breaking the lil pegs off.. you can undo the two clips on the inside and push the bumper down and that does the same as removing it

Did the same.. spent a long time trying to take a short cut... but in the end.. removed bumper.

i broke the peg on one side, but not the other. i was a little impatient yanking on it i guess.
