Your ignorant reply kinda defeats the purpose of this forum. Try & recognize the fact he's new here, and cut him a break. You could have easily directed him to 4th Generation How To's.

How To:

It's a very quick change, and you'll need flat-tip and phillips screwdrivers. The light closest to the rear of the car can be popped out w/ the flat-tip by wedging it between both lights - be VERY gentle! With some prodding and pressure, it will come out. Afterwards, you'll see that the longer of the two lights is tacked in the bumper by a phillips screw. Unscrew, pop out the light and you're set.

Also, it's a good idea to inspect the clear lenses where they mate up to the light housings. Often, the quality is quite poor on these aftermarket clears, and will leak like a sieve. I'd recommend a nice skin of clear silicone between the lense & housing, and you shouldn't incur water problems thereafter.

Hope this helps.

stick a flat head screw driver in between the two pieces: move the handle fo the screw driver towards the LEFT wen working with the driver side lights adn move it to the right w/the passenger side. basically u gotta POP the side lights out and the inner one is screwed in, which u'll be able to see after you pop out the side/outter lights. not hard at all
