Cannot figure out how to remove tail lights!

[bL@cKy@Ri$1]

So I am trying to install hellastyle tail lights on my sedan and I tried and tried to remove the tail lights but I couldn't figure it out! I removed the two 10mm bolts and tried to pull em out but wouldnt happen! Is there anything I'm missing?

3 bolts. there are 2 along the outside and then 1 more more toward the center of the car. looking at my old ones now

Thanks let me know what you find!

But I think the sedan and hatch are different.

But I think the sedan and hatch are different.

If you look at page LI-123 of the lighting section of the service manual, for the sedan it says to remove the two nuts, pull the connector, and then slide the light assembly towards the rear to remove it. If it is hard to remove, the gasket may be sticking.

Thanks! I'll look through the manual tomorrow! Hopefully I get them out!

if you need pics let me know it has 3 bolts and a plastic clip holding to the sides of the taillights which you have to reuse for the aftermarket ones

Pics would definitely be helpful and appreciated Jumpman!

Well I am having the same problem. I removed the 2 nuts, disconnected the bulb, the light assembly just wont come out....were you ever able to get any pics Jumpman?

They're hard to remove for the first time. Wiggle them from side to side while pulling back on them. They will come out eventually.

I did this today on my 3dr. Probably pretty similar. Yeah, two 10mm nuts for mine. Then there's a plastic clip. I just put my hand in the access hole (from the trunk) and pushed outward on the assembly while pulling from the outside with my other hand. Eventually it loosened up and then POP! Out it came..

Be patient. You'll get it!
