Hello all. I have a 04 Accord EX. How in the world do I take off the tail lights that are on the trunk? I've looked under the cloth on the inside of the trunk, and only can see one bolt. Can anyone show me or guide me in the right direction so that I can take them off and then back on? Thanks in advance everyone!

 

The bumper needs to be removed first.

 

Even for just the lights that are on the trunk?

 

Unless, you are referring only to the light bulbs, or the center tail light panel; then yes, the bumper normally is removed to remove the left or right tail light assembly.

 

Why would you have to remove the bumper to remove the trunk lights??

 

Because there are additional nuts and screw(s) that are to be removed from the tail light assembly from the bottom, after the bumper is removed. This is not including the nuts that are removed from the trunk area, like other older Accords.

Coupe and sedan is just slightly different.

 

Man, what a pain in the butt....
