I really need pics, cause its not for me but for someone who is not a member. I tried explaning it from what I remember but he doesnt get it. I remember there being four little nuts and then you just push it out. Anyone who can get pics, that would be great
Don't scratch up my trunk
.
Here's the instructions for a 97-99 from VQpower (from the R/C coversion). I would bet they're the same for 95-96.
"0. The first step in modifying your taillights is to remove the taillight from the vehicle. Begin by removing the interior lining in the trunk. Some of the tabs that hold the lining in require a flat head screwdriver while others come off with a Phillips screwdriver. There are 2 plugs that need to be unplugged from the tail light. They both have white connectors. There are also some plastic pieces that hold all of the wiring to the nut. These may be tough to yank off. I used a pair of pliers to pull them off. There are 4 8mm nuts that hold the taillight in. Remove these using an 8mm deep socket. The only thing holding the taillight is some black sticky adhesive. There are a few ways to get the taillight out. One method is to gently heat up the adhesive using the heat gun so that the adhesive softens. Then push on the taillight. Another way is to gently tap on the 4 studs that hold the taillight in the vehicle. Lastly you can push the taillight out of you are strong enough. Place the bottom of your palm on the flat part of the taillight and push hard! Be careful of the adhesive so that it does not get on your hands or the taillight."
If your cousin doesn't have a heatgun then I hair-dryer should work too.
I realize it would require a level of trust, but if your cousin can't get them out you could just me the trunk and I'll take them out and send 'em on there way.
