How do I remove the tail lights? I've gotten the three bolts removed and everything else but there seems to be something else holding it in place. Any Suggestions??

coupe or sedan? I just changed one of one of my sedan taillights two days ago in a parking lot only tools needed were a small flathead screwdriver and an 8mm socket, not sure if the coupe is different...took about 15minutes...if you can get the three nuts off theres nothing else holding it on just push it straight out..its may just be tight if if its never been removed before....once its out you can slide the wiring connector off its plastic mount by hand and it gives some more play to push the light out further and disconnect the harness with a small flathead screwdriver...thats it...nothing else, good luck

Welcome to the site, Bryan. I moved your post to a more appropriate forum. Your question should be seen by more folks who can answer it.

i probably dont recommend breaking things on purpose. if it breaks than watevers but if u can just pull hard without breaking anything would be great. this is what that clip looks like. or better if you can release the tab that is clipped with a helper. or all diy says pull hard or use a wire to get around the light than pull. the grommet clip is replaceable for $3 but the plastic pin that the gromment goes in is not that i know of.
