A lot of people have been asking on how to remove the taillights, reverse lamps and the trunk lid lip spoiler on your 07+ Sedans. All writing and illustrations are in the pictures, so feel free to print it out or take a laptop with you next time you want to remove any of those 3 things.

If you only want to remove the trunk lip spoiler, scroll down to the second half of the pictures.

Tools required:

• Flat-Head screw driver
• Ratchet with an 8MM socket or a 8MM wrench (ratchet is 100x easier)
• Something along the lines of a credit card, or a plastic spackle
• 2 Hands

I did this with no help so I had to hold the camera with one hand and use the other hand to take the trunk apart, so excuse the weird camera angles.

I also wrote this up at 4AM so excuse the spelling (if there any) as well.

Any questions, feel free to post a reply.

REMOVING THE TAILLIGHTS















Once you removed the 8MM nuts and unplugged the taillight, lightly pull on the taillight and it should easily come out, hold the taillight with one hand as you pull the rubber grommet out of the chassis with the other.

nice! glad to see someone else awake at this time on the east coast, gives me hope.

Cmon guys! more v36 stuff! i think ill just make DIY's for ever single part i put on my car, minus air fresheners, lol

 

Nice DIY. I'll be swapping my reverse lights for LEDs soon and this will help alot. Thanks

 

Awesome DIY!!

 

Sweet DIY, I'll be using these instructions in a week or so, thanks

 

Great Write Up Vert!

 

good write up but instead of using the flat head on those plastic clips that tear up easily....

try one of 2 things, buying a interior tool set for like 20 bucks (you'll use it more than just this i promise) or two use a zip tie (on the ones that have holes in them) and feed it through there and then pull it out

 

sticky status!

 

This is seriously way too late lol. If I read this sticky a few weeks ago then my painting job would be easier.

 

perrrfect ty

 

Just wanted to say thanks for the awesome DIY!

 

Do I need to worry about putting some sort of weather stripping or glue back onto the reverse lights after I install them?

 

The foam weather strip was pretty much split after removal so I put a bead of 3M weatherstrip adhesive all the way around to join it back together. Since I had to remove them after that, I noticed it worked very well.

 

thanks for this write up. will help me out tomm.

 

4 years later.. and another thanks. I already changed all my front lights just waiting on a couple more LED's for the rear.
