Rear,

Remove side trunk liner.

Squeeze the two clips at the sides of the marker & pull it out away from the car on the outside.

Disconnect wire plug.

Plug wire into new light

Press light into the hole in body till clips engage

Replace side trunk liner.

About a 10 minute job.

You don't even have to fully remove the side trunk liner..only go as far as the section that fits around the trunk lid hinge.

There will be enough room to get your hand in to release the clips...everthing else is done from out side the car.

Good to hear. My 06MT is Graphite & the rear markers blend in real nice.

IIRC you take off the inner fender splash shield at the rear of the front wheel well & the rest is the same as doing the rear markers.

Wink Don't bother pulling the front fender liner ...

My fronts will just pop off if from the outside ... get a fingernail under the front and back edge and GENTLY apply pressure out ... they release easier than the rears since there is no foam gasket around them. I remove them anytime the car gets polished or waxed. There's plenty of slack in the wiring to pull the marker out, unplug and plug back in.

Did you buy OEM Type-S rear side markers? Where did you get them? I have been on eBay and have seen several diff ones. Not sure if I should replace all 4 with a clear lens(not OEM) or just get the 2 rear side markers.???

Thanks for suggestions and info. J.D.

So get the TL-S rear side markers is what you are saying. Do they match the front side markers on a 2006 TL? Thanks .

Easier method - I just padded a flat head screw driver with some paper towel and slowly pry it out, took me 30 min to do all 4
