Is there a way to replace the side lens on an EF tail light?
I have two tail lights for the driver's side for my '90 Civic hatch, one has a busted amber section and one has a chipped side section, the reflector/etc. bit on the actual side of the car, you'll see it this pic.
I noticed that this piece of the tail light lens is actually seperate from the rest of the lens, and I'm wonder how you remove the lens -- either just this piece or all of it, if I can get the whole lens out I can figure it out from there. But if this little piece comes out seperate it'd be nice.
Any help is appreciated, I don't want to bust this tail light trying to pry it apart. The only thing I noticed are some clips on the tail light's lens that clip into the housing (or so it seems), but the lens doesn't flex so I can't just push the clips in and lift the lens out.
Thanks in advance for any info on the lens removal.

In the event you can't replace the lens, and need to replace the tail light, PM me and I'll sell you it cheap.
Also, just a quick glance at >>http://www.ehow.com/remove-honda-door-panels/ suggested there might be a few guides out there for you. Not entirely sure though. Happy hunting!
