this is officer Jake of the Rice Police. I am giving you a written warning for hinting to us that you may be installing Altezza tail lights. However if you are simply replaceing a broken tail light with a new STOCK one I will explan.... remove plastic from the inside of rear of trunk. Then you should find some 10 mm bolts if i remember right holding on the tail lights. its pretty simple. remember.... this was only a warning. :uhoh:

you open your fucking trunk, and then look inside and see what you need to do. What's wrong with people today, are they really too lazy to figure things out for themselves.

my teg is 8...


I think my civic is 8mm too, 10mm just seems wrong...yea, it's 8mm, I just remembered...cuz the fenders are 10mm, the doors and hinges are 13mm...the tailights are 8mm (so are the fender to front bumper bolts on my civic, the big screws on the top of the bumpers are a #3 phillips head )...I knew I'd remember it...

ok... i admit... id rather save the 70 bucks for euros on shavin those things off.. .but u guys didnt need to rape the poor kid with the irrelevant rhetoric....

ok dude... hopfully ur installing some SI tail lights of something decent... but here you go...

get urself that 10mm socket wrench.. bust them bolts off. on the 96-2000 there may be an additional 2 philips style screws. takem off.. then fit the new ones on... make sure u get the bulbs in the right holes... cuz that would suck if ur back up lights were ur running lights... people would point and laugh... well maybe not... only those ppl who think they are better than everyone else.. but thats more bullshit and uve heard enough of that... ok now make sure those new tails are in water tight... there is a dude with an eclipse and those euro tales and... u cant even see the tails... cuz of all the fog in there.. ... DONT BE THAT GUY.... put those 10mm back in and ta da.. u just gained 5 style points... (if ur playin NFS underground on PS2) if not... u just spent 70 dollars in gas money ur gunna wish u had... good luck!
