Removing tail lights! WTF.

Why is this so difficult? I read in a old thread that you can just beat the metal tabs sticking out into the trunk but it feels like ima break through the tail light.

Any easy way to remove the tail lights?

its really not that hard man.. you just got to pull them out after you removed all the nuts. pushing the metal tabs just helps you a bit..

easiest way i found was to take the nuts off and hit the ends of the bolts with a rubber mallet. broke a damn piece off the side trying the other way with the screwdriver

Be careful and take your time removing them. I used a screw driver like Ghozt and I wanted to shoot myself . Took awhile to make it flush again and thank god the VHT nightshades covered it nicely LOL.

@ Ghozt: Love your new sig

I am going to change the front and rear turn signals to LED, so where do you think is the best place for the resistors to set? Thanks
