Hello,

I'm fresh out of college, started working, and recently bought a new car. as a gift my brother bought me taillights for my accord 05 coupe. he's a mechanical engineer, so he told me "it'll be easy". But i'm a computer scientist, i don't even know where to start. I unscrewed three bolts from the taillight, but a strong tug confirms that there is more to the procedure. I think i have to remove the rear bumper and unscrew two more screws. Is my assumption correct, if so what is the procedure and what will i need.

TIA

 

You sure your brother isn't a search button engineer? :chuckles:

well i do think this is an unfitting gift for me, but its the thought that counts. thanks for confirming my hypothesis. Do you know where i can find information for removing the rear bump.

 

Perhaps in the FAQ. You're firing on all cylinders tonight

 

Ouch

Thanks alot, I don't know how i missed that but I really apperciate it. I think i can handle it now.

 

wiat just a minuite, many would suggest putting a small bead of silicone around the light housings's joints... sometimes, especially with cheaper (and even sometimes more expensive) aftermarket tails water can tend to get into them and then fog them up....


search for it.. 've never installed lights on my car but i'm positive i've read someone telling other people this in the past, jsut thought i might let you in on a hint

 

thanks for the tip good thing i visited one last time before i installed the tailight

 

Dont forget to post the pictures of your new tail lights. "Before and After" style if possible.

 

As long as it's not altezzas, then I don't want to see them :happysad:
