Tail light replacement?

Does anyone have a clue how to replace the tail light? THere are no screws visible to remove the lense. I'm sure it's something simple.

hey.. there are 4 nuts to take off.. i believe it is an 8mm nut.. might be 10mm but unlikely.. the nuts/bolts are a gold color.. hope this helps..

I don't see any nuts. I have a 98. I do see a black peice of plastic covering the edge of the lens when you open the trunk. I didn't want to try and remove that and break it off. Is that where the nuts are? underneath that? or am I blind? haha

are you talking about the trunk cover? there are a few plastic clips with a little button looking thing in the middle... push the center in and pull the clip off.. then you should be able to see the nuts..

Where can I find tailights for an 96 Acura 2.5TL? The dealership gave me an estimate of $418 for one tail light replacement.

Try here.

http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/...A4AT&catcgry5=

All your acura parts needs. The taillight is listed as being $241.10. Thats just for the housing itself, assuming that u dont need a new harness, bulbs etc. Im sure that if u ordered the tails from the dealer all you would get is the housing as well. Of u need those other parts you can find them there too.
