    I just installed a pair of clear tail ins. It is like 10 screws you have to unscrew then re screw. At most half an hour at least 10 minutes.

    Thanks, but are there any tips or tricks I need to know. I heard something about sealer. What's up with that?

    altezza install

    I, too am trying to install my Altezzas. I went to Corolla Toys but It doesn't say specifically how you remove the connector from the original tail light. It looked like all you do is squeeze it and it should come out of the hole but mine are not budging (I had everything taken apart but that). Anybody know?

    :?:

    Re: altezza install

    Shawny, I got mine done already. My uncle Michael helped me out. On the connector, there should be a small part that you are supposed to push down on and it should come out. The trunk light(back up light) is easiest, try out that one first. Can you post pics of your lights when it's done? I'll post mine soon.

    DIY Altezza

    I tried pushing and squezing everything on that connector and it will now un-hook from that little plastic holder on my lights. Big bear, do you know the exact part you push?

    Re: DIY Altezza

    Well the connector is like a rectangular part and there should be a slit. Did you try the trunk ones first?
