Default removing tail lights?

Hey,

How do I remove the tail lights from my car? I want to do some deep deep cleaning, I already took out the headlights and took off the rear spolier. All thats left is the tail lights. I just can't figure out how to get them out. [&:]

Remove the rear trunk molding. There is like 5 or 6 nuts holding it onto the car.

I wonder why ford made the headlights so easy to come out and the tail lights so hard. I think they like tricking us. [&:] Oh well. Thanks for the help guys.

i thought the exact same thing.

p.s. if you take them out replace the little rubber washers on the bolts or water will get in there.

It took me exactly one second to get my headlight out. One clip and its out. It's an easy clip too. At first I was looking all around and underneath trying to figure out how to get it out and my Dad just walks by and pulls the clip. He's had more new Fords than me. LOL
