Topic #42134 11 posts Started by KB-2
okay, so i was wondering how i would go about installing new taillights on a coupe?
im pretty sure its just like how it is for a hatch....but im not totally positive

remove the lil caps, then unscrew them nuts and what not, pop the lights off.....and replace them with the new ones?

if anyone knows exectalyl how to do this, let me know. thanks

you are correct, 3 10mm nuts on each tail, plug and play.

Yeah I did them on Hurley97's green st. Her originals were cracked.

honestly, the hardest part will be getting the bulbs in and out of the tails themselves. (i had a hard time, big hands/idk what)

okay, so pretty much, take of the bolts. get the blulbs disconnected, then line it all up, reconnect the stuff, and screw back into place

sounds easy

okay.....im jut kinda...retarted when it comes to installing **** on the car. for example my intake....took 4 hours...due to my alarm system was preventing hte car from starting once the battery gets restarted.....GAYYY
and my subwoofers.....about 1 day, because i kept loosing the lil screws and waht not.
haha, but this sounds alot easier

becareful, the nuts are small....they look kinda like shiney cherios....so dont eat them!

its always good to ask. no question is "stupid" no matter what anyone says, if u have a question, then its always good to ask/double check so u dont break something.

good luck. if u need anything while doing it, call me. (pming my cell number to u)
