installing skyline's *** taillights... HELP!!@$! NOW~
 
ok.. We got the carpet thin goff...
we are staring at the tail lights
ones on the outside...
they have plastic thing with wires attached to the taillights
maximadriver.com's instructions are that clear..
how are we supposed to take out the taillights?

After you take off the carpet, you'll see 4 long bolts facing into the car. Remove the nuts on those. Make sure you pull all the lights out of the taillights. Now the taillights are held on by this disgusting black goop. Just start pulling, pushing, whatever to get them off. The only thing other than that goop holding them on there is the bolts, once you've removed the nuts the taillights will slide out, you have have to put a lot of effort into it. Go slow, and it helps if you heat up the adhesive (black goop). It'll take a lot of force, but be careful where you apply it. Do not use a screwdriver on the side of the taillight to pry it out no matter how good of an idea it seems like, you'll scratch the paint and could crack the taillight.

He made taillights that look like skyline tails out of Altezzas.

now how to get to the lights on the trunk?

RedMax95 Feb 1, 2002 03:15 PM

you got them off? all you do is put them back through the holes, put on the nuts, and be done with them

I am talking about the tail lights on the trunk
I took the bolts out but it won't come out...
it's stuck ... how to get them off?

Kyle7475 Feb 1, 2002 03:42 PM

loosen all the bolts and pull straight out using a little force. there is some black adhesive seal the tail light to the trunk.

maximus75 Feb 1, 2002 03:49 PM

Damnit Man, do we have to come over there and do it for you?:p
The key words are Brute Force!

NickStam Feb 1, 2002 04:02 PM

if you are a big puss, heat up the tail light to loosen up the adhesive....then get in the trunk and push out with your palm.

Gotrice4 Feb 1, 2002 05:06 PM

:idea: pics?

Sexima Feb 1, 2002 05:46 PM

I didn't think it'll be hard to take out for the ones on the trunk
looks nice ^^

MdMaxDrvr Feb 1, 2002 07:25 PM

Like they all say, it takes brute force... I did it with no problems (150lbs all muscle!!!) :D

if you have to tap the screws inside lightly with a small hammer to get it out, and the black stuff hardly held it at all

hey sexima i REALLY dont mean to discount your efforts, it looks real clean and well done but i dont see the skyline resemblance really. its not your fault i dont see it- i jus think the max's *** is shaped different . its like one girl has a fat *** and one has a thinner *** and they both have a tattoo on it. theyre jus not the same. ANYWAY- I still think you did a good job - congrats!:)

Sexima Feb 15, 2002 11:25 PM

well im glad that it doesn't look like a skyline
^^ It's a maxima!
