How do I replace Taillights (2008-2009 Lancer)
Anyone have a DIY written up on how to replace those taillight assemblies? I'm thinking about getting the RA tails but I've heard the assemblys are a pain in the ass to remove from the car and replace correctly. I dont want water leaking in behind them and I'd like to be able to swap them again when I sell the car in a few years.
If anyone is going to do the install soon, could you take pictures of the process and post them for other members to see? Thanks!

that makes it look complicated, its really easy... just undo the two screws you see on the trunklid and pull it out and unplug it lol. As for the ones on the trunk lid just take off the cover on the inside of the trunk (theyre pop pins very easy) then its just a matter of unscrewing the nuts and yeah.. dude its simple
