you need a better camera!
do you have to take out the bumper to take out the tails?
and how'd you take out the orange strip?

u dont need to take off bumper, just unscerw 4 bolts holding it together. the whole tail light comes off. take out the bulb and look inside. i examined it, and the orange strips are quite small and it looks like this - |__|. i soldered it in half, horizontally, so there were two pieces like this - |__| |__|. becareful of soldering it cuz u might damage the lightbulb holes. push the two orange clamps in, so it falls in, and get a long thin pleirs to take them out. becareful, because there is silver paint inside to make it shine, and it can easily come off. so if the two parts dont come out at once, just solder it off piece by piece. and wallah ur done. dont forget to buy orange light bulbs too.

just open ur trunk and remove the panel that covers the rear of the tails, one on each side of course. once you open the panel, you can see the bolts:thumbup:
