Coupe taillight removal?

Am i dumb, or is there a trick to removing the tails? I just don't want to break any clips or anything....and i can't find a writeup on it? I found headlights and sedan tails, but not coupe tails?

Please help! Step by step or pix of how to remove coupe tails?? THANKS!

open your trunk
you know that black plastic piece in the middle
pull that off..then pull back the grey carpet thing behind the taillights...there like 3-4 screws on each taillight..unscrew them then unclip the harness and pull the taillight out

its hard to explain on writing
i think i should make a DIY Removing Taillights

I was wondering the same thing....one of my side marker bulbs went out, and the stealership want over $30 to replace the bulb..... I know theres a couple nuts holding on the tail, and I figured out how to remove the plastic anchor fastners......but I'm afraid I will break the black plastic pc that goes along the edge of the trunk.....How is that fastened? Do you simply pull straight up, or do you need to pull that pc from its side outward to release the clips? I figure if I bust that pc, it will cost me alot more than the $30+ they want to replace the bulb....any help would be greatly appreciated.

Never Mind, I figured it out...you need to pull straight up on the black finisher pc, and lift it up out of the way to get at the remaining nut that holds the taillight in place.
