Crap, having a hard time taking off my taillights - Honda Prelude Forum

Heero · 03-15-2002, 07:58 PM

I'm currently trying to take out my taillights ( for something secret coming in soon, if you guys help me, I will be able to get pictures and info about it up ), but I found that the screws are TOO hard to unscrew. I tried using something to clamp it and turn it. I don't know why it's so hard, but I'm not sure if you guys had that problem before too. It's mainly the top 2 screws that are so hard. Do you guys know the size of the screw so I can go buy a wrench and try to unscrew it.

They are 10mm I think, could be something else. I had troubles with it too. What "top two screws"? I thought there was one on the top two on the bottom? There is one other bigger bolt sorta below, dont take it out it has nothing to do with the tail lights.

Oopps, forgot to tell you the easiest way to get them out, use a really deep socket, because normal sockets dont reach the bolt...

Yah, that was one of my problems... I'm gonna need to find a bigger socket... Hmm.

To make it easier for yourself, pull back the whole trunk liner to access the whole rear of the taillight

You still need a deep socket to reach the nut because the bolt sticks out through it so much.

I got it now! And my secret project is done! I'll make a post about it either today or tomorrow... this is sweet.
