pimp, if you do go with the carbon fibers... call up jcwhitney (jcwhitney.com) and try to get a better price. they listed em as $199 w/ free shipping on their site, and for some reason when I got my bill, they only charged me $145 w/ free shipping. Also, if you get them, don't put them on right away, buy a silicone sealer and seal the caseing of the lights so they don't get moisture in them.

Well, took me about 5 hours to do it. You've gotta dismantel half the trunk, take the wiring harnesses off the car (make sure you label each bulb so you know which one goes where when you put the harnesses back together) and find all 14 screws that hold the tails on the car. That was just for one tail. Clear a whole day to do it...
Nah, i'm j/k. You take the rear plastic piece off inside the trunk, remove a few of those little plastic clip things. Take off three bolts on each tail, and remove the bulbs. It's really easy. on the APC tails, it's easy to tell where the bulbs go. They're all different sizes and will only go in one hole :] Really easy. Maybe 30 minutes if you're quick about it. If you take your time, might be a tad longer.

haha, protetype, you had me there. I was reading your post, and ready to ask you Yeah, replacing them shouldn't take more then 40 mins... really easy, and simple, and there's no way that you can screw anything up. Everything pops in and out, and screws in and out.
Except for the welding part.....
hehe, j/k

oh...and don't forget that you'll run the risk of voiding warrenty.
But seriously, if you come across something where you don't know what to do, you can take a look at the manual...it shows you how to change your rear bulbs...you should be able to put 2 & 2 together.

Thanks for mentioning the silicone sealer. I saw a MP3 here in Vancouver, with the uggggggly atezzla (I still can't spell that word), and I could see the condensation inside of it.. looked like crap.
