2002 sedan tail lights

[02civic kid]

just want to know if anyone knows a site that gives good instructions on removing original tail lights and installing some after markets ones......

Wow...it's very simple....you just have to get a socket wrench, remove like 4 bolts, and pop them out, and repeat the process...

I believe you take them out from the trunk dude... just pop your trunk.. pull back the carpet some and look for bolts... should be pretty simple.

you HAVE to take off the bumper to remove your lights. there is one screw from the bottom that you can't get to unless you remove the bumper. i have some pictures on here somewhere if you need them just let me know.

I did the tail light switch today. and yes there is a bracket that is under the lights that hold the stock light in......but u dont have to take off the bumber to get at the screw u need to take off. All you do is go under the car and directly beneath the light and unscrew the middle screw of the black bracket. Then lift the light up and push down on the two clips that you can see between the light and the body

unless your car is on stands, it's hard to do that (position a flash light, lay down so you can see it, reach up there, probably blind, and try to unscrew it)

it's just easier to take off the bumper...
