Default Changing Tail Lights

I purchased some Altezzas and was wondering if anyone has a guide or some tips on how to put these in myself, I have a 03 Civic Coupe.
Thanks

3 steps:
1) get a firm grasp on the box
2) fully extend your right arm
3) heave the box into the garbage!

Pop your trunk, find the two screws on the side of the tail lights that are flush with the rear deack surface. You'll probably have to pop off a panel on the interior of your trunk to get to the little 10mm nuts that hold the tail lights on from the inside, but you'll find it. Be careful not to drop any of the hardware, because it will manage to rattle around like a ************ on crack when you fail to find it.

Enjoy your altezzas. Thanks for making your car look worse so mine looks better .

that is awesome

But yeah dude they install just like any other tailight. Also check to make sure they are properly sealed due to the fact that they will condensate and look even shittier. if your gonna do something do it right.

Pss...
Here's how I installed my altezza,...first thing's first....

1. open the box and removed the altezza taillights from the nicely packed box!!
2. pop your trunk or hatch open!!
3. place the Altezza taillights behind the two rear wheels....then...
4. go inside your car and start the motor!!
5. put the gear on Reverse!! or (R) the hit the gas pedal all the way!! Notes: by doing this your vehicle will sudden jump over the the altezza and it will magically bolt on the rear!!

5. Done!! Congrats yourself because the crowd will be gather around by your car, when you go to pepboy!!
Oh!! and dont forget when I said it will magically bolts on your rear, there are chances it may end up bolting on to the two rear wheels!! Enjoy your new atezza taillights!!

Here is the quick and easy installation of the Altezza tailight:
1. Remove cracked tailight
2. Remove Altezzas from the box.
3. Throw them violently onto the ground. Use those muscles!
4. Kick them around a bit, it gets the circuits working better.
5. Douse them with a healthy bit of lighter fluid.
6. Light them on fire.
7. Pee on them.
8. Repeat steps 3-7 until the ground surrounding the lights are nothing but smoldering plastic, ash, and pee.
9. Punch yourself in the face for buying them.
10. Go to Honda dealership, or local junkyard to get OEM replacements.
11.Never purchase anything that has the title "Euro" or "Altezza" or "APC" in it ever again. Good day.

Insurance didn't cover your new car against vandalism? Lies.
