Question Need Help! Removing 02-03 Tail Lights

Ok, gona take a trip over to a local junk yard to see if i can find an 02-03 TL with some perfect condition Tail Lights that i can remove with my own tools and see if i can buy them from the junk yard for a decent LOWER price then $150 a piece being that these tail lights are used and coming from a junk yard. If someone could answer any of these questions below id appreciate it. Going to the junk yard in about an hour. Need response ASAP. Thanks.

What tools exactly will i need in order to successfully remove the 02-03 Tail Lights in case i do find one?

Also, what exactly should i be removing from the 02-03 Tail Light if i plan on chaning my 99TL tail lights out?

And what exactly does the wiring harness look like if anyone can tell me?

all yiou need are pilars, or some adjustable wrench.

it's just five (or 6) nuts that you have to unscrew on each tail light.

btw, good luck. i tried to find something at the junkyard. didin't have any luck.

YOu will have to fold back the carpet in the trunk to get to it.

Hey man, you think you can help me out and take a look at my other Thread i posted about ordering the tail lights cuz i had no luck at that junk yard in this thread i posted about. My other thread is the one that says "Best place to order 02-03 OEM Tail Lights"
