Tail Light Removal

Does anybody know how to remove the tail lights on a Gen. 3? I am planning of installing some new lights, but am unsure of what it entails. Thanks.

Actually it's really easy...first remove the interior panels in the trunk by pulling out the push pin type fasteners. Just pull the centers using your finger nails or a small slotted screw driver. Once you have them all out move the panels out of the way and you will see the three nuts that hold the tail lights in place. Hold the tail light with one hand while backing off the last nut so the tail light doesn't fall out against the bumper. The last step is just to remove the bulb housings from the lens.
