Hello, changing out the rear pass side tailight/brakelight with a new oem unit. Too many "check rear brake light" warning lights, so I'm going with a new one. Anything difficult about changing out the whole tailight assy?

cars with DSP and Nav, and CDC will be difficult, thoes without, are good to go.

they are attached by 3 8mm nuts and 1 elec connection. it is pretty much straight forward. should take about 5 minutes to change while drinking your favorite cold beverage.

Got it done. Not too bad, but smaller hands would help!
