so you've taken out all the 10mm bolts correct? the led board should come right on off - use a small philips to pinch it out - or get someone with small hands.

Those 2 ingredients are a recipe for disaster. If you need more time then you should put it all back together and start again when you have more time to work on it. Never rush. You are very likely to break something. We've all been there...

Good luck!!

i changed out both in less then 45 minutes without even removing the rear bumper completly. I couldnt be more easy to be honest with you... if u cant do it u should probably let somebody else help you out.

Yea you unscrew the board, and have to maneuver the little cord just rite, but it will work and come it. It just takes patience. I think its definitely a project for another day.
