Hey guys...I just got some JDM tail lights for my 91 MR2. Can anybody tell me how to remove my stock tail lights and center piece?
Thanks!

You need to pry off the little triangle light at the ends of the tail lights. Use a screw drive wrapped in a cloth so you don't scratch anything. There are 2 screws under that triangle piece that you need to remove. Then there is a screw on the top of the center panel you need to remove. The tail lights should now come off.

To remove the center panel, there are four 8mm nuts holding that on. Remove them and it should fall right off.

I removed mine this morning and noticed that my right rear is cracked. What are you going to do with your old ones? Here's a link with pictures on how to remove the tail and center section.
