there is nothing more to the tails then removing the rear bumper, and unbolting the stock lights, and swapping them with the new ones. and also swapping the LED cluster in the tails

if you wanted to waste time, you can try to remove the 2 bolts with a long ass extension, thats if there is a gap in there to do reach up from the bottom of the bumper

i didn't remove the whole thing just loosened one side and pulled it off enough to get at those bottom bolts. installed light on that side and tightend. same procedure on the other side. works well

Some cracked my taillight off like 3 months ago, so i bought a new taillight and i installed it with out taking off the bumper.
FYI......
I only have 5 sets incoming for the first part of next week unsold. I took all that Acura had in stock, and I got all I could get coming from this batch. If you need them soon, make sure you order ASAP. It could be a few weeks before additional stock arrives beyond this last batch.

Edit: Really, the only reason you need to remove the bumper is because there is a little mount on the bottom of the taillights underneath the bumper. The mount is held to the taillight by a phillips screw (which now that I think about it, I didn't need to take off
) and two 10mm bolts holding it down to the car.

THE BUMPER SCREWS, BOLTS AND CLIPS MUST BE REMOVED TO REPLACE THE TAIL LENSES!

i recieved my type s tailights and just finished installing them.Let me tell you,this is a pain in the ass!!!theres a screw thats holding it on the bottom of the taillamp.so you would have to take off the bumper or just pop the top of the bumper off.then i had to swap my led board on the new tails,also the weather strips have to be swaped.when i put on the bumper i had big gaps on the side of the bumper!!!im so pissed,i have to take my car to a bodyshop ,hoepfully they can adjust it the right way.
