Default TRUNK SWAP

Ok so my car has this huge Terminator spoiler on it. When I first bought the car, it was the coolest and favorite part of the car to me. A year later, it looks ridiculous as Iam getting older. You can say I went through my rice phase. So I bought a 94-97 TRUNK to swap out with mines. Problem is I want to transfer my taillights to my new trunk, besides, the new trunk did'nt come with taillights so what I want to know is, HOW IAM I SUPPOSED TO TAKE THE TAIL LIGHTS FROM MY TRUNK AND INSTALL IT ONTO THE NEW TRUNK ?! HELP !

If the new trunk has the holes for it you just go inside your old trunk and take out the 4 10mm bolts and the bulbs. Then just push the light out from the inside. Install it in the new trunk just the opposite way.

You are going to have to unplug the wiring from the module in your trunk and pull the wiring out the holes in the trunk. Then you will have to unscrew the modules and mount them on the new trunk if it doesn't have them. Then just run the wiring that should now be hanging inside the trunk floor through the holes in the new trunk down to the modules you just mounted. Then plug it all in.
