LED Tail Light Facelift Advice

Okay, I finished the LED tail light swap tonight and I'm going to offer a couple of hints just for the archives.
  • I only removed the two black clips and *not* the Torx screw that's on the bottom of the side trunk liner piece. I'm thinking that would've made my life a lot easier, but I didn't have a Torx screwdriver handy, so my knuckles probably suffered a little. If that's the case, someone chime in to corroborate the fact that the panel will probably magicly and easily pull away from the side if I were to have taken that off.
  • Press in as your putting the nuts back on the screws to give yourself a nice tight seal on the lights. If you're doing this by yourself, just press your body weight against it to get one or two more threads of tightening on it.

For reference pictures of what I'm alluding to, check out this post: https://mbworld.org/forums/s-class-w...ml#post4817229. This is mostly for people who are looking for photos/diagrams of how to remove the trunk liner.
