I'm trying to take out the light in my trunk so that I can use the wires to hook up a neon light, but I can't seem to get it to pop out. Do I need to remove the rear deck to get it out or do you think I should just break it??

take out rear seat, take off rear deck cover, pop it out....

Yeah take the time and take the rear deck off. Once you get the deck off its really easy to do, it will just take some time to get that far in the process.

Thanks for the advice but I think I will just break it because I can't get the rear seats out of my car. but thanks anyway

With the rear seats it has a hook that holds it in, if you just pull on the bottom right and left corners of the bench part that will come out, then there are three hooks at the top of the back rest. Seriously i would take your time and do your trunk light right.

I had to use a big a$$ pry bar to get my back seat out.

Really? Mine come out really easily... i guess mine are just worn out.

yeah, mine was in real tight.
I had to hammer to holes back down after I pulled the seat bottom out.
never did get the seat back all the way off :-\

that seat back was a pain to get off, and so was the seat bottom. had to use a prybar as well.

it says you have an SE so you shouldn't have a 3rd brake light on the back deck (only GXEs would have those)

either way, if you're talking about that light, it has two plastic trim pieces on the side. You can push in at the center of the circular piece and then pull it out. Then the whole housing will come off.

I think he is talking about the light that is actually inside the trunk that shines down when you open up the lid. The one where you have to take off the rear deck to unsnap it from its holder...

whoops, yeah that makes more sense

sorry about that

Yeah that is the one (inside the trunk) that I was talking about. And thatback seat is not coming out for anything. Me and my brother tryed to get it out and he's a big guy...about 6'3" 260 (mostly muscle) and I'm about 5'8" 180 (all muscle) and both of us togetther could not get it out.

I wish I had a light Way to lazy to put in another bulb seeing as the only time the trunk is open is to take out a stroller for my son. Hmmmm I remember when I had my subs and amp back there

there's two clips on each front corners on the seat bottom. lift it up a bit and you'll see it. pull as hard as you can upward on those clips and the bottom should pop out.

I think that there is a clip in the middle of the bench too, not betting my life on that one tho...

good thing because there are only 2 clips like Fosgate said

there are 3 clips on the upper portion though

I finished my little project and I would not recommend it to anyone I bought a Pilot LED light for my trunk and it is so dim that you can barely see it. Maybe it'll look better at night or maybe I just need to get neon instead.
