Tail Light Removal...
I know this has already been answered before, but I was wondering if anyone has any pictures to go along to what screw you need to remove to take out the tail light assembly? I bought the S Class style tail lights and I've been wanting to put them in but I am not sure what to exactly do to remove the tail lights. I bet it's really easy. I already searched the forums a few times, but no luck.

It's really easy, you don't need pics. Just pop off the push pin things that hold the trunk liner in. Then pull the liner back. Look around the perimeter of the light and you will see three screws. Just remove those, then the fourth one is a little harder to see. It is behind the hard plastic part of the trunk, just remove that screw and the light comes right out. It is really easy. If you can't find all the screws let me know and I will take some pictures of mine.

Alright I just put them on last night, but when i pulled back some of the plastic trunk liner one of those clips that hold the plastic in fell down the bumper. It's not life threatening or anything, , but its kinda annoying to know that I have a clip missing. Does anyone know if i can get one of those at the dealership?
P.S. S Class LED tails look great.

I got mine from Ebay. I really like that they have the "LED's" too, but the only thing that kind of bothers me is that the bottom most light on the taillights doesnt stay lit while driving, only goes on when breaking. The LED's however stay on the whole time and get brighter when you break. Make sure when you're connecting them that you first check the way up put the connector on, because if you put it one way the wrong lights stay on, so then you just flip it around and plug it in.
