Why the name calling and I am not an lazy-**** because I did look Into the stickies and I only saw the altizza conversion and It did not quite explain much as I wanted It too.

alright dont listen to them theyre just "pros at life" and forget there are ppl just trying to mods at a beginner level. i also couldnt find a thread but i just winged it since i couldnt find anything il help u out the best possible...
Tools...
flat head
cloth rag
socket wrench
elbow grease
ok il give a brief explanation here and pm me if u need more help.
First wat ul do is pop the trunk and remove or just bend out of the way the carpet/ liner where the tails are located. then useing the socket wrench remove the little nuts and blots used to hold the tail in place. after that disconnect the lights. (u dont have to really unplug ur battery but if u wanna be super safe then do it i guess i didnt)
alright now here is the really tricky/annoying part. here u might wanna use the flat head and cloth if u dont want to break ur stock tails. ul have to pull them out really hard it might take time but just use some man power and get them out. once out ull see where the black glue thing goes.
Now is another tricky part but once u get teh first off ull get the second one off quicker. the little white thing thats holds the wires to the lights is slide locked onto the light housing it self so take ur flat head once again and ul have to kinda pop it up and slide it out. then put them on the new lights but make sure the right one goes in the right spot. Now just apply the black stuff to the space provided on the lights where the old one was on the old lights. (u dont have to use it all just enough to go around it once becuz then it wont fit correctly i made that mistake and it was a ***** trying to take some off =\) ok now put it in where the old one went and ul have to really push it so itll fit snug. tighten it with the socket wrench until it fits perfect.
after that connect ur lights and enjoy!
Now each light is pretty much the same except eth trunk lights are harder to reach but with some patience ul get it done. dont be upset if theirs a gap or to from the edge to the car cuz remember its not oem but dont worry no water should get in if u put the black thing correctly.

That said, with a *majority* of stuff that I've run searches for on here, I have found that the stickies and various other threads do mention something about what I'm doing a search for. However most of the links are dead, broken, wrong URL, misdirected, etc... Thus leading to me not finding the information I needed. However, I have not posted questions on it because of the reaction that it seems that the veterans on this forum tend to have to something that seems simple to them.
That said (part 3), I think this forum is a great source of information and there are some great people on here as well, but there are some quite vocal j.e.r.k.s. on here that make this one of the least welcoming and entertaining automotive forums I've ever been a part of (and I've been part of quite a few forums over the years).

You know, with that said, then I guess we should just shut down the ability to create new threads in the 4th Gen forum because everything has already been answered before. Why even have this forum open to new topics? It's all in the stickies and been answered before by someone somewhere.

now i undertand that some links are dead and such and thats understandable. in that case yes you may need to ask a rehashed question. HOWEVER there are soulitions to the dead links as well. so we go back to what i said earlier. when you have been here as long as some of us you get sick of seeing THE SAME **** POSTED ALL THE TIME.

To those who are acting like big babies should not act like one because someone has asked a simple question that was not in the thread or It has been moved or locked or It never has been answered. I have looked around before I have posted this thread so I can ask The PACIFIC QUESTIONS. There are other threads that don't answer the questions that ELGORDITO41 answered. I know now that I am going to use black tape to seal up the tail lights and the gaps and I am not going to use the glue gun. The other thread were talking about gluing the tail back together after they have been opened. I am not doing that I am removing the OEM tails and the ones I am replacing them with the red clear tails.

The "don't like it, then leave" comment can go both ways. If you've become so jaded after six years on the forum that you have nothing better to do than bash newbies that don't know everything about the cars, then perhaps it's time for you to move on and find a new car to learn about and go to a different forum? I'm not directing this at *you* in particular, but to anyone in general that would make that kind of argument.
95% of the time the links work? When was the last time that you ran a search on all these different issues and went through the stickies and clicked on each and every link? I think that the number is closer to around 50% of the links work the way they're supposed to.
Another thing is that a lot of the times the stickies are directed towards information from 2003-2005... that's great that the information is there. However, I *really* hope that there may be some new development on our cars in the last three to five years or someone may have found an easier or better way to do something than what was the standard half a decade ago.
I.E. on the last automotive forum I was on, I found a way to fix an issue on a car that I owned that no one had ever used before, even though it was a 1999 model. Seems like all the questions on that had been answered before since it had been out for nearly ten years, but the method I came up with fixed a broken part for $1.95 instead of $195.
Maybe those headlights from company x that were great five years ago suck now due to slips in quality control. Maybe Monroe has better struts than Tokico now. Perhaps there is a new technology in a certain set of plugs that are better than the NGK standard plugs we are told to use by the stickies. If all we have to go on is old information, then what is the point of trying anything new or different in our cars. Might as well keep them all stock or fit them all with the same old tired mods.
I honestly don't mean to come on here and cause any problems. However, as I said before, I've been part of message boards for a long time regarding various topics. I've run forums, I've been part of staff, I've been a valuable contributing member and I've been a regular newb on the board. Never during all those years have I ever been rude to a member that didn't deserve it. If the info was there, it would be politely pointed out.

No i think he has a point, this theme is way too old on these boards. Its time to get over it people and get past the fact that new members will come on the boards and ask questions that many have already asked, its just the reality of it and members who have been here for a long time need to get used to this fact.

Not talking "smack". Just simply making an observation. I've been a member of a particular forum for over ten years. Yes, questions get rehashed but fortunately the community tone of the forum weeds out those that have bad attitudes.
