Hey Gang,
Finally got enough time to get the Mini into the shop and get him all straightened out. I need to pull the right tail lamp and for the life of me I can't figure it out! Not to mention they allow about enough room for a gnat to stand. I see three white things on what I think would hold it in, but I can't seem to do anything with them. Any help would be appreciated. GREATLY!

Hey Dale,

I'm pretty sure you have to go through the boot, trunk for you Camero drivers,  I don't think the design changed that much from 06 to 07.

Any one know for sure..... Bueller.....Bueller.....

The boot is not the way to go. After about 20 minutes of frustration (I was surprised it too that long!) I got fed up and figured "something" must be under the chrome ring around the tail light. CORRECT! There, hiding under the chrome bezel are three little screws, remove them and out comes the tail light! Only down side, the white things are basically plastic "nuts", one broke but that's not a big deal. One problem down...wonder how many to follow? 023

That's a much easier design to deal with than the old lights were.
Wish I could help but I have an "oldie" 023
