03 Tibby GT Tail Lights

Relatively new Tiburon owner . . .

Can anyone lead me to 'how to' page or details for removal of tail light assembly (I have a brake light out).

youll have to unscrew the carpet like covers in the hatch area (covering the taillights)....

youll have 3 bolts to unscrew when you expsoe teh rear of teh lights... i think youll need a 3/8 inch wrench.. with a DEEP socket...
the screws are looooonnnnggg....

unscrew..stand directly behind teh tail light.... and pull taillight straigth towards you...
you might have to rock teh lights back and forth a bit to get em to move...BUT BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL ABOUT THE EDGE.... the only pointy-like edge n teh tail light.. i know several have been broken due to carelessness...

then jus unplug the wires and stuff and youre set
