For those that have updated their tail lights...
I just purchased a set of the new SL55 AMG tail lights for my SL600. I took a 5 minute look at my trunk area to see how difficult the install would be and it looks like I need take almost the entire trunk apart to do it. So for the people that have done this, can you share any tips/tricks on the install? I don't want to rip out more than I have to.

TIA.

If for some reason I'm unable to follow the directions posted above, I'll have to go that route.
