I just ordered my inspire tail lights from Snook and should be here very soon! Are they hard to install? I tried doing a search but was unable to find any posts regarding installs. Did anyone have any particular problem when installing theirs? thanks.

i just installed mine today. i believe there are six screws per side. unbolt them, and disconnect the bulb harnesses. on the driver's side, you have to disconnect 2 harnesses and disconnect the bulb harnesses. also you have to remove the plugs off of the stock tailight and put onto the new. mine came w/ the gaskets so i did not have to use the stock. there is one small problem, the blinker bulb housings are not the same size as stock. i have mine wedged in right now and im going to either wrap the harness in tape to make it fit or silicone them in place. i hope this makes sense...

no problems, east install.
1-remove center plastic panel (4 plastic "screwplugs")
2-Unscrew cargo net hooks next to each taillight area
3- peel back trunk liner from the tailights
4- remove 6 10mm nuts on each tail light assembly.
5- disconnect each bulb socket by turning 1/4 turn and pulling away from assembly
6- one of the wires crosses under the foam, so be careful...carefully pull assembly away from body of car.
7 replace with Inspire tails and reverse procedure (except the "be careful" part.

have fun, took me 30 mins tops.

 

Thanks guys. I cant wait until they get here!
