never done this before so im not quite sure what the inside of my tail lights actually look like. BUT, i might reommend heating up the "cement" with a hair dryer. Maybe it will loosen it up a bit and you can peal it off?

Post some pics and maybe i can help ya

^ what he said. You shouldn't have to remove the outer lense for anything if thats what your trying to do. To change the bulbs you have to unscrew the assembly from inside the trunk, then the bulbs come out real easy from the back of the assembly.
