2001 Blazer ZR-2 Taillight Removal

[berkscop]

Anyone know how to remove the taillight assembly on a 2001 Blazer? I want to put halogen backup lamps in. Thanks in advance!

i believe their are 2 screws that go threw the side. open the back door to access these screws i can't remember if anythings covering them you might need to pull back the weather stripping or pop off the pillar pannel. they have a philips head.(i think)

Thanks! I found the tail gate hydraulic thingy is in the way (on both sides). Does that just pop off? Thanks again in advance
