3rd tail light replacement

I bought the LEDmarkers interior "3rd tail light" LED replacement for my 03 G35 coupe. Got it quickly from the vendor, but there are absolutely NO instructions on how to access/remove the rear deck lid 3rd tail light housing. This is very complicated process and the LED strip replacement cannot be performed without these pertinent instructions.

I cannot find any information on how to remove the rear deck lid tail light housing for the coupe and the youtube videos are for the sedan. Does anyone have good information about how to remove and reinstall the coupes 3rd tail light housing?

Thank you for your interest and replies to my thread.

After fiddling around in the coups trunk and dropping the upper liner (as seen on youtube video for the sedan), I went into the cabin and simply used a large flat head screw driver to lift the third tail light housing. It is simply a snap in/on housing like it should be. There is NO screw securing the housing from inside the trunk.

It took a bit of fitting but the LED sold to me by LEDmakers was installed and is working.

So, from what I remember, there is no real need to mess with the trunk liners in the G35 coupe at all. Just carefully lift the housing with something thin and flat so that no gouge marks are left.
