I do like these more than the stock lights. I thank everyone on this DIY section as well as all the others for the help and knowledge spread on here
Being in Hawaii there aren't really alot of get togethers so I spend my time admiring everyone's camaro's on this forum
All you needed to do was pull the light towards you.

So I don't know if anyone else had this problem but the tree clips the one on each side inside the trunk, I used a finishing tool and pull and twisted on that sucker for 10 mins and couldn't even break it to get it out, just kept bending and giving but wouldn't pop out or break off, I got annoyed and quit only thing I know to do is reach behind and cut it, has anyone else had similar problem with these two clips? The other 3 pop clips were super easy no issues.

I bought 100 of these for like $4. The expensive part for me was when removing the light I gouged the bumper cover.

I love comprehensive insurance coverage with no deductible!! My wife says I'm crazy fix it as its hardly noticeable (about 1/2 inch long) however its driving me crazy.
