yes...there are some screws at the bottom of the taillight...

if u dont take off the bumper you can still access them but you have to unclip the top part and bend it a little bit which i dont recommend...just take it off takes like 5 min

Naw, the paint should come off if what I read on here is true. They came out great though. The hardest part for me was getting both sides to match. That took a lot of little adjustments to get right.

To the OP, there is a DIY written up to paint your tails and that is what I used when I did mine. Do a search.

Good luck with your project.
