Don't tell me Altezzas are out already...

But anyway, I'm sure it's the same as all recent Hondas and Acuras. You've got to pull back the lining on the inside of the trunk to have access to the nuts that hold the taillight against the body.

If you've already tried that, I have no other suggestions.

Yea I was trying that but the damn "screw" that holds in in place won't come out. lol

And no, no Rice altezzas.. I'm gonna lightly smoke them

Checked it out today, All you have to do is unscrew a cpuple of the screws that hold the carpet in place and pull back the carpet. then there are 3 things you have to unscrew and obviously remove the bulbs and the housing should just slide right out.

Smoking them would look nice!
