Is there anything one needs to know or be on the look out for when removing the tail lights?

Thanks in advance.

 

two bolts, i think they're 7 or 8mm. the pins that hold the light in can be tight so watch your paint while working those out. pull the housings out straight back - wiggle top to bottom if needed.

 

Thank you

 

Do some YouTube searches, but pretty much as above. 2 bolts, wiggle the light out straight back to free it from the set clips.
I used a trim tool to help (basically a plastic pry bar) to not scratch the paint or mess up the tail light.

 

I wiggled the light too much & broke off the top tip. Super glued it back on with no issues. Took ilight off again later and the light came out easier than the first time.

 

8mm wrench... don't wiggle.. just pull straight out

 

I took my right one out to install tailgate damper. Above info is the way to do it. My assembly was held so tight by the clips I swore there was another bolt holding it in, but pulling straight back finally released the clips.
