After you unbolt them from inside your hatch / trunk then they just pop out. Make sure you have all the bolts off.

just pry them off gently...there might be some sealant around the edges, just get a flathead screwdriver and gently separate the lense from the housing....


but when you put them back on make sure you seal them good or bolt them to the housing even...ppl around here like to swipe lx tails.....<edited><editID>bmorrisj</editID><editDate>37922.6573263889</editDate></edited>
