Funny the one color we did not have at the initial test fitting. I'd say you go with either red or black...

ok never mind

Ok ive deleted a couple of my messages because slowly i am getting further into this process (SLOWLY!) but it seems that everyone is off working on their maximas too, because i was trying to beat the rain, but the rain won, and i have to stop for now, but anyways...... How do i get these taillight assemblies off!? i have got the clips and bolts off, and now have the taillight assembly and the trim that is next to the trunk loose( which i think is what should happen) but even though they are both loose, i cant get them off. i must have spent an hour and a half pulling, pushing, shaking, and HAMMERING at this thing. (no, just kidding bout the hammer.) But would someone help me get these taillights off!? ive got a trip ahead of me and id like to get this done before i am out!

Sounds like you have them hanging by the wires. Have you tried twisting the bulb socket to release it from the housing?

stumped on something simple

No, haha theyre not hanging by the wires. the assembly isnt really hanging by anything. its still attached to the car but i can get it to seem like if i pull hard enough it will seperate, but ive pulled really really hard at those things and they are not coming out. i havent gotten to the point where i can see the bulb yet. i wish i could show u a pic but my camera is away rite now. If someone looked at my taillights they wouldnt look loose but if you pull at them they allow some give and can shake.


...ok..update. i was attempting to get it off, and got damn close. so then my idiot self decided to wedge a part off with a screwdriver, and i tried not to push hard but did apparently because i chipped a little piece off my tail, (haha its not that bad) but, since i was just trying to tint em not put on leds im gonna just keep em on and tint em.

As long as you have both bolts off from inside the trunk, you just need to give them a good tug. Ive done it numerous times with no problems. Make sure you are pulling on the the trim that is next to the trunk as well, as it is all connected together...

^ They are back stocked. Actually had to leave them negative feedback for having auctions up and not having the item. Also had to wait a couple weeks for a refund. There are pretty much sold out everywhere and wont be restocking until mid December according to IPCW themselves

Wanna be L-e-d

ok, i finally got my taillights off, and tinted them with rustoleum tint spray. This is in no way as good looking as the leds, but for those who cant afford the leds right now. it is a great temporary add to the look of your car for cheap as long as you are patient and do it correctly.

Will these be direct plug & play with an 04? I remember reading something somewhere about possibly needing to add resistors.

Looks like you already made your choice from what I see in your sig. Unless you plan on painting your headlights black and include other black accents than ruby red is the way to go for you.

I wouldn't recommend the chrome ones. They look cheap as hell. DEFINITELY go with either black or red. What color is your ride?

IMO since you got the carbon fiber wrapped hood/roof than the black ones will look good on your ride.
