dont laugh at me...

dont laugh at me...but i cant figure out how to get the taillights off to replace the bulbs (one is out, but i may as well replace both) i unscrewed these two screws behind these rubber stoppers on the inside of the car, but they still dont move...what am i forgetting? where are the other screws?

You didn't mention the model year, but I am assuming pre-2000. On my 1999 model there are only the two screws hiding behind the plugs you mention. There is a flexible gasket material that provides for sealing the tailight unit to the body and this must be gently broken loose. I have found that on my rig it is easiest to allow it to sit in the sun for about 2 hours and then gently wiggle the unit and it will pop out.

You didn't ask, but my hint would be to be sure to use a magnetic screw driver when reinstalling - - once dropped into the cavity those screws are very difficult to retrieve.

wiggle it out

hahaha no just kidding, thats a good question, now i know if mine burns out

Now this is really stupid. Which way do you pull the tailight , towards the rear or out to the side?

towards the rear

get a really sharp pencil and draw it out!!;) j/k
