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
IPB Image

3.) There are only 3 that you need to remove
IPB Image

4.)Use the 10mm Socket to unscrew the bolts holding the tails on
IPB Image

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
IPB Image

7.) Remove Tails
IPB Image

8.) Bulb Layout for OEM tails (the JDM tails are on the bottom)
IPB Image

9.) Remove bulbs
IPB Image

10.) JDM Tails with bulbs placed (The bulbs really only go in at certain spots so you really can't "mix" the bulbs
IPB Image

11.) There is one bulb that is not used on the JDM Tails, I just removed the bulb
IPB Image

12.) Place the tails back... Insert nuts into socket. Re-screw tails in.
IPB Image

13.) Place the covers back, and your done
