For the 3rd break light lense.. just undo the 2 screws that u can see on the front of the lense.. it will come right out...


For the lock have fun with that... All that work getting it out your better off shaving it.

you see that light gray piece of metal between the lock cylinder and the trunk lid that's open on one end and bent on the other? that's a clip to hold it in place. slide that out and the lock cylinder should come right out with a little twisting.

theyre custom

cannon fodder- yea removing that piece would allow the actual cylinder to come free but i still need to separate the cable and black plastic piece from the cylider to be able to remove it all the way

also, my last post about the light was not exactly what i meant (it was 3 am and i was drunk) i can pull the brake light out after removing the screws but that doesnt allow it to be free from the car, the wires are still connected. can you just pull the wires through the gromment or what
