TL-S Rear Side Markers

Ok so first of all I swear that I searched I just couldn't find what I was looking for

So I just bought the TL-S side markers because I want the rears to be smoked like the front and now my question is how in the hell do I get the old makers out? Is there an easy way like just poping them out or is it more involved? Thank you for any help you can give me!

It's super-easy. I did it myself and changed both left and right in less than 10 minutes. There are surely some DIYs here, but you don't need them. Just pop open your trunk, and you'll see that you have to pull back some of the trunk liner to get to the backside of the side markers. Once you pull back the liner (you must first remove a plastic pop-rivet or two), you'll see how to do it. It's really easy; probably the easiest car mod I've ever done. The front ones are a little more challenging.

very easy to do. remove the trunk liner by removing the little clips. just pull the liner out a little bit. from the inside push the two tabs on the side marker and it will pop out.

It is very easy, all you have to do is unscrew the round knobs on the inside of the trunk. Then pull a section of the trunk side pannel out towards you and you will then see the back of the side marker. All you have to do is press the tab on each side and puch it out. It is not hard at all. It took me about 10 mins. to do both. Just take your time while you are trying to remove the trunk side pannel. Let me know if you have any problems.

Yeah I changed mine out in about 10 minutes last night. I like the look a lot better. I can't wait to get the windows tinted on Saturday should make the car look a lot better.

You don't have to that the trunk liner out. Just remove a couple screws to allow your hand to get in there.

To buy them contact Tim at www.hondacuraworld.com
