i know there's a write-up and a step by step, but no pics to go along with it. anyone link me to one with pictures?? thanks

 

what trouble are you having? theyre really straight forward, its just that the butyl can make it seem like theyre tough to take it. just have to push hard from the back on sturdy spot.

 

im putting some red/clears on in a few weeks, dont want to screw up the paint or the seals and have never taken these apart before. just want to see what clips/screws come off where and where to apply pressure so as not to screw up my old tails. thanks

 

The closest thing I could find was the DTM mod on vqpower.com.

But it didn't have many pics of the removal process

 

You won't screw it up. It's just 4 nuts (each light) and unplugging of harnesses, then push slow and steadily in a solid spot from inside the trunk on the back of the tailights as already mentioned...Go for it dude.

 

Wtf he lives!!

Yes its easy. Now need for pictures make sure you get something for the water.....

 

what do you mean??

 

I think he means make sure you either reuse the butyl and put it back in kind, or put on new stuff if you happen to need it to prevent water leakage.

 

If you dont seal your tailights you will get water leakage. So in between the tail light and trunk you need some type of water proof seal. Usually a strip that looks like string cheese and you just stick it around the the sides of it. Forgot what its called. Adk at home depot.

 

oh duh, im tired and not thinking straight. i just thought it was an rtv of sorts but for plastic. can i get it at the dealer? i think at almost 18 years old im gonna replace it. trying to do everything right the first time. will this work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Putty-Tape-B...84c321&vxp=mtr

 

are you talking about removing the taillights for the car or removing the red and orange lenses from the taillights themselves.

your post makes it sound like you are talking about removing the taillights, which is super easy...

if you are talking about removing the lenses from the taillights themselves, that is a whole different matter and I have no idea what the best method is to do that.

 

no, im buying some clears and wanted to know what the best way was to remove old lenses. and i know how to remove lenses from the lights, im thinkin you bake them like the headlights and pry them open which im not going to do. thanks

 

Just pull

 

When I've removed my tail lights, I used a windshield sealer that is in a squeeze tube. I don't clean the old stuff off, I just add to it. You need to have a 1/4 inch thick layer.

 

thanks, i was wondering about that as well

 

Blinker fluid.

 

It is very easy. Take off few nuts, unplug lights, put new ones in.

 

Is this real life?

 

If you have the time to post responses like this on these threads then you have the time to post something that might help somebody. Did you really take the time to make a .gif out of "how to search"? lord

 

 

 

each lamp has 4 10mm nuts. gonna have to use a ratchet extension on certain ones. That sticky crap holds them in good, i actually thought i missed a nut (no homo), just gotta pull hard and theyl come out (no homo). Just leave some sticky **** behind to prevent leakage.

 

i love how many responses are repeats of whats allready been said. like im gonna say " ooo, thanks, the other 12 answers just were'nt worded quite as well".

 

i also hate the above mentioned comment. and to the guy who said he used windshield stuff, thats good cuz its the same stuff. they use butyl for that too.

 

lots of thick black goo fighting you.but should come right out with one steady continuous push.

 

nice i was gonna search up on this but found one once i opened the webpage lol just got some 00-01 se tails for my 03

 

stop trying so hard

 

your welcome!!! there all pretty much the same, just different years from what i've seen.

 

I recently installed some red/clear taillights. It was my first time. Its pretty straights forward. Basic tools. If you're getting the red/clear from ebay [Eagle Eye], the weather strip is provided for each piece.

 

I have no frucking clue what youre talking about, but i do find it funny how you go to my profile and check out all my recent posts so you can reply with some dumb **** like that..

 

Fixed.

 

you know what, thats right

 

no, im doing the real deal. you'll see....

 

what exactly is the real deal?

 

Bro, youve never heard of the REAL DEAL? Watch....

 

 

Real deal or not, its the same process or maybe you're installing Altezzas

 

He must think David L's are more real than eBay.

 

idk what im looking at

 

i got some all clears that im painting and putting on i a few weeks, you'll see.
