Yea I'm 100% certain it's an 8mm nut on the tail lights. I did however, remove the trim on the speaker that's sitting above the lights in order to get to that cranky nut.
I believe I did connect the wrong wires. Didn't bother checking before connecting them as I got the passenger's side correct the first time.
On the passenger's side: Red (new bulb) to Red (tail light) and Black to Black and Green not connected. So I just took it for granted that it's the same on the driver's side.
What a flop!
anyone who is also trying to remove there tailights.
just buy a 8mm open/closed end spanner
worked for me without removing any interior plastics except the ones to change globes
Cheers for this DIY, I absolutely love the rear of my civic now looks awesome. I admire it everytime I go for a drive at night!
Only difference I did was, instead of having them come up when I broke, I just have them running as parker lights (Like the real EK9) and I used T10 LEDs as well.
