    Tail light removal difficulty!!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have to change a brake light but I'm not having much luck getting the tail light off. I have an '04 Avant. I've removed the trim cap on the interior adjacent to the tail light and backed the screw out. Are there any other screws or am I not pulling hard enough to get the assembly to pop out?

    I know the the B5s there are FOUR screws per light, so if you've only done ONE, you need to find the rest.

    That is the only screw, you need to jiggle it harder if I recall. I don't remember any other screws other than the one under the cap.

    P.S. - DON"T LOSE THAT SCREW!

    EDIT - Just noticed you have an avant. I'm not sure if the same is true for avants.

    I just wen through this last week. Pull the screw completely out and there are two plastic nipples on the tail light (outer edge) that fit into the body. Pull the tailight away from the side of the car not towards the back of the car. It should come right out.

    Thanks all. I guess I wasn't using enough brute strength and ignorance. I finally just whacked it and popped right out!
