    What is the easiest way to remove rear tail light lens????

    I went through the side (where the number plates are) I carefully pulled out the rear bumper. There is some flexability and it allows to to get your hand in. Not easy, but it can be done. The bumper from underneath can be pulled out slowly. Be careful though. Cheers Darren

    Thanks for that. I must say nothing sounds better than a Chev V8. I think I'll give them ago. The Vettes I have heard on YOUTUBE sound awsome:beer
