Tools:
Flathead Screwdriver 10mm Socket & Ratchet 1.) Pop Trunk Open 2.) Pop open the covers (they are marked with a picture of a light bulb) Use the screwdriver to remove 3.) There are only 3 that you need to remove 4.)Use the 10mm Socket to unscrew the bolts holding the tails on 5.) TIP: Once it comes loose, use the socket without the ratchet to manually turn and remove the nuts 6.) Carefully wedge loose the tails using the screwdriver 7.) Remove Tails 8.) Bulb Layout for OEM tails (the JDM tails are on the bottom) 9.) Remove bulbs 10.) JDM Tails with bulbs placed (The bulbs really only go in at certain spots so you really can't "mix" the bulbs 11.) There is one bulb that is not used on the JDM Tails, I just removed the bulb 12.) Place the tails back... Insert nuts into socket. Re-screw tails in. 13.) Place the covers back, and your done -------------------- '99 GT & '06 GTI
