Anyone have instructions on how to replace rear taillights?

I picked up a new set of LED taillights... does anyone have step by step instructions on how I can go about replacing the stock non-led lights? I do not have airmatic - this is an E320.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I will bump this thread since I have the same problem.

I just got LED tails from my stealership and now trying to figure it out how to remove the old ones.

On my A4 that was easy, since there was a concealled screw that holded the entire taillight assy.

Any ideas ?

Use a thin flat screwdriver and pull out these 4 tabs I circled in red and your in business. There's another clip that holds the 12v outlet that you'll have to pull out as well on the left side tail light.
