take out the piece that covers the taillights, and look toward the top of the side pieces and you'll see the little plastic screw in things and it just comes right out.

if it takes you 4 hours, you better be drunk by the time you finish. It's sooooo easy, it will amaze you. I get pm's all the time about how people tried it and didn't realize it was easier than my how-to makes it seem.
