I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction I'm about to replace all my rear bulbs, I managed to figure out the reversing lights...sorted! i'm now about to tackle the turn signals and I'm having a little trouble getting the cluster out, I don't want to yank at it unless that's what you have to do, is there anyone out there that can point me to a thread that has done this and perhaps pictures???? Thanks in advance. Mark
 
if your talking about your corner taillights then you need remove a plastic piece that uncovers bolts, loosen the bolts then pull the tailights away from the car. Becareful not to pull to hard cause you got wires connected to your bulb. There should be some kind of round plastic you need unscrew to open the bulb
 
i dont know about the 1st gen but on the 2nd gen you dont pull it towards you. The tail light has to be pushed outwards since the clips sit at an angle inside. Be sure to tape the paint around the edge of the tail light because the tail light has a nasty habbit of scrapping off all the paint on the edges where it meets with the tail light upon removal.

I got to this point but the lights seems to be firmly in there I did not want to pull too hard, are you saying there are just the two bulbs?

I have not really done anything to the car yet, I bought it 3 weeks ago,an 09 FX50S, I gave it about 20 hours of interior and exterior detailing, Ichanged all the inside bulbs to LED, what a difference! I changed all theoutside bulbs but the fog lights and front turn signals last night and I addeda couple of K&N drop in filters other than that its stock. I don't plan ondoing anything else except having the wheels powder coated gunmetal gray - fortwo reasons, when I bought the car the dealer must have had a company come inand respray them, so so job but not perfect, plus on a white car the gray looksgreat (IMO). I would add a few pics, but I cant seem to figure out how to do that?
