Just curious..., removing rear lights Options

[Tenchi]

Does toyota have a special tool that fits in those small holes to remove the rear lights instead of taking the whole rear apart? I broke the small corner snap when I removed the rear plastic panel. I was able to get the lights out and replaced the bulbs though.

i just used a deep socket to get the nuts off then i took off the middle rear panel to get to the wireharness..the panelholers are just these plastic screw style thingys...it shouldnt be hard at all...

you could do what i did for a while i just took the lining out of my trunk but i had to put it back in.

you should be able to buy them...if not then you should be able to order em. I bought mine from meeks or somewhere like that.

You should't have to remove the rear plastic panel. The corners at the back have off memory 3 or 4 large round
plastic covers with bulb symbols on them. Its just a matter of
twisting them off, this will reveal a hole where you can push a deep socket head( as pressure 2 says) inside to loosen the nuts which hold the rear light assemblies. By the way if you try to take the plastic clips off in the future (the one you broke) remember you have to press the center part of the clip in with a screwdriver and then pull out the outer part of the clip.

I didnt know that all you had to do was push in the ones on the doors and they popped out, my friend broke em all when trying to install my speakers.
