how do you remove the tail lights off a coupe?
I did a search but couldn't find any info on how to remove the tail lights off a coupe. I hope it's a whole lot easier than the headlights.

A lot easier than the headlights. Pretty much just remove the trunk liner (kind of obvious how to remove it if you look) Then you'll see the screws. I believe there are 3 per tail light.
Heres the service manual if you need more references. Good luck

Its pretty simple.
1) remove the trunk lining where the tailights are. Its just a bunch on push-clips. There is no need to remove the trunk lining on the sides just the rear portion will do.
2) Look for the holes with small bolts inside holding the tail lights in place. There are 3 screw/bolts per tailights. 1 towards the reverse light on each tailight and 2 near the turnsignal portion of the tail light. Simply unscrew and the tail lights should come free.
3) Once all screws are removed and the tail light is free, disconnect the wiring harness and you should be done. The harness is a simple "plug and play" deal.
Sorry, i know this not the greatest write-up but i hope this helps. If you have questions feel free to ask....

Anyone know what size the studs are for the bolts holding the lights on? One of my bolts came off and is nowhere to be found. The taillight is making a horrific squeaking sound when I go over bumps now.
I know they're 8mm in width but I need to know the stud size. I looked and couldn't find anything close at the autoparts store.
