H3 Remove Oem taillight guards

[Chattrat27]

Does anyone have a video on how to do this or has don it them selves

On the H3 they just use the same screws as the taillights themselves, so when you open the rear gate you'll see the screws. there are only those two on each side that you can see, nothing really tricky about it.

Take the screws out, at the top and bottom behind the lens are retainers mounted in the truck sheet metal and metal pins mounted on the light unit. The units pull straight out towards the back. I had a tough time removing the lights. The pins mounted on the lights were very tight. Had to pull, wiggle etc and work a little at a time. Get to0 rough and you might break the light units. I think someone had trouble before because two plastic retainers were bad. Purchased new OEM retainers and sanded down the pins were they don't fit so tight but still tight enough to hold. Sanded a little, checked and then sanded some more. When removing the first time two retainers came out with the unit. Hope this helps and good luck.

Can confirm. I had such a hard time pulling the passenger tail light out, that I was pulling the track backwards with the force. I had to pull so hard that it broke one of the stems. What a terrible design.

Yeah, you know you're doing it right if it feels like it's going to break
