tail light removal

[Jetts]

is the removal of tail lights easy is 3 peices or 1?
im pretty sure it is 3

3. The outside parts are attached to the body and that other thing is attached to the hatch.

thx is it easy to remove the outside parts from the body, cause when i buy a 88-91 hatch i plan to do something

[FourthGenHatch]

I've never done it but I'm sure it's not hard. I'm pretty sure the center piece is just held on by 4 obvious nuts.

It's cake, just undo the nuts and your all set. I think that their either 8mm or 10mm...their small.

the right and middle peice will stay put i want to move the left one

what 1phatcx said

[fiercecivic]

there is five little nuts on each tail light if thats what u mean. u have to take ur rear interior panel out

[cp___32]

Just watch when you put them back.....the bolts are just little studs in the plastic and I snapped a few of them when I was tightening them back in. So, don't make em really tight or they will break off. Now mine leak a little.

Ahhh sweet! i've seen that done before to a civic I think, it was in a magazine awhile back, think it was either Import Tuner or Honda Tuning it'll look pretty cool, good luck on doing it when you get a car!

Really old Cadillacs had the gas thing behind the lights.
