unless yours is broken and your replacing it with an original taillight, i'd strongly advise against putting altezzas or nething thats not stock. 1 because my personal opinion stock teg lights look nice, why mess with success, 2 because it attracts thieves. i see far to many tegs with altezzas, its making me sad.

Alright you change an integra tail light by first poping your hatch. Then on the rear of your interior your going to see little plastic rivets. Pull the center section up then pry the rest up. Then once you get that panel off you will see bolts on each tail light, I belive there is 10bolts.

The ones on each side are hard to get to but its possible. Once you have all the bolts out, pull the tail light out from the exterior of the car.

I had to do this because I had water in my tails and I had to replace the gaskets.

hay its alllll good///// the 8mm (i think) bolts are in the trunk dude......just disconnect the connectors and then unbolt......you actually have to take out the bracket that is underneath the lights and above the bumper on the G3's, same concept there are 4-8 bolts on the inside that are 10mm that you must unscrew.......then the bracket should slide off .....its really easy to put back on too just match up the bracket to the trunk key hole.....

if it's a dc 4/2 you will also need a 8mm ratcheting combo wrench (makes the job just a little bit easier because of the tight space - especially the outer bolts near the edge of the taillight).

good luck!

Oh come on now, its not as if he asked which side his gas tank is on or where do you put the oil. However, if you cant change a light bulb (or housing) it may be a better idea to save your self some trouble and just call your girlfriend and have her help you. I did.... she has smaller hands for the two screws in the corners that I couldnt get. And I love my CF tail lights even if they leak when it rains... here in Seattle.

You can thank h-t for the lack of help.

almostboostedgsr has it about right. Its not very difficult but isnt exactly obvious either. In regards to a DC integra you will definitely want to remove the rear center plastic and as much of each of the corner plastics in order to pry them back. The lights themselves are held in by 10mm nuts which can be easy to miss so before prying the light out make sure you got them all first. Pay attention as to how the harness is routed along the headlight then out of the ports into the trunk if your replacing them. If the gaskets or any of the bulbs look questionable nows a good time to replace it. Good luck and hopefully this helps Once you get started and see it for yourself you shouldnt have any problems.
