In my coupe, you fold back the carpet to find four bolts w/ nuts ... take the nuts off... un hook all the lights and push on the bolts... and out pops the tail lights...

On the coupe you should also have lights on your trunk lid. though.. don't know about them

Alright You're in luck... This is how I did mine, I thought it was a big pain in the [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG] Anyways, get under the car and look up. I know you cant take out your lights because something on the bottom part was holding it in. You should see a screw, the only screw, that you can take out with a screwdriver. Take those out, and dont put them back in when you put your lights in because they're un necessary. Then, I went to the fender area of the rear wheel and took out the top and side screw, so It maybe would help me push the bumper down in order to get some leverage to lift out the light. Now this part, I dont know if it was necessary or not, but If you look up again next to where the screw was that you took out, there should be 2 other screws on the side that require an I believe 10mm or 12mm socket to remove. I took out all of these nuts and bolts, therefore I was able to push down the bumper with my *** and lift up and pull out the tails. What kind did you get? Check out mine, I'm so proud of them... If you need n e more help, IM me at CIVICstikated... no prob... good luck

wow sounds like the sedan tail lights are much harder to get out than the coupe lights
