i was trying to take out my tail-lights yesterday, took out 3 nuts that i thought were holding the tail-lights in, but they would not come out after that, sorry if this has been asked before but could anyone tell me how to remove them please?

There's usually some sticky, gum-like substance used as a sealant of sorts holding it onto the car as well. If you've gotten all the nuts off (OMG, did I just say THAT???), then just give it a good tug.

you can also take a flat head screwdriver. and cut through the glue, when you put them back on, don't forget to put silcone on it.

the hairdryer is your friend, take the nuts off and go around the edge of where the lights go into the taillight and get it hot and itll pry off and you won't have to reglue/put new silicone on it when you replace it

Thanks a bunch, i'm trying to get them out so i can take the yellow lens out to make it a little more clear, i have some yellow bulbs to put in just when you look at the turn signal you can see a little yellow, don't really want it.

Does any one have pictures of how the tail lights change between early 3rd gens and 94' 3rd gen?

Would converting my 90' tail lights to 94' be worth it, or what year maxima look best? are they even different? Dont know if it has been asked before but i did not want to start a new thread. thanks for any info.

92-94 SE tails are the best looking IMO.

you don't have to take the tailight off to get to the the yellow piece, simply take the flat head and pop out the yellow piece. at least you will get some practice on how to take out the tailight
