Euro 2010 Tail Lights Removal Help Pls

[cabra80]

Honda Accord Euro 2010

I have managed to remove 4 screws at the back of the light but the damn thing won't come out :confused:

Does anyone have any tips or diagrams for removing the rear tail lights? I've heard you need to remove the rear bumper to get to those. Any type of instructions/etc for getting those lights out and then replacements back in would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, it takes a while to get back to this topic. I have successfully replaced my tail light. Saving a few bucks on the labour :p
I have never been doing this type of job before...so thanks to felixd who had been giving some tips where to start from. Anyway, I hope this thread could be helpful for some people who want to replace their broken tail light. Umm...one thing is that I'm too lazy to copy, paste words, so if you wanna read the full instruction, just visit my blog (http://www.ngontran.net/forums/index.php?app=blog&module=display&section=blog&blogid=1&showentry=311). Below is the summarised instruction of the job.

After removing the bumper, you will see the bracket where you can put on the new light.

Hi carbra ,

How much did you pay for the tail light assembly? is it original Honda part or OEM?
