i have a 98 nissan maxima and im trying to replace the stock tailights with the generation 2 altezzas. When i got the aftermarket tailights they came with no directions on how to remove the old taillights. do anyone have a diagram to exactly what needs to be removed from my stock or walk me through it

Its pretty simple. Take off the trim piece held down by plastis screws. Pull back the trunk carpet. Unbolt the lights and pull them out. The hardest part is not getting black crap everywhere. reverse for install

just like above...very straight forward. remove trunk carpeting so its out of the way, unbolt the nuts holding in the taillights and pull out. i personally thought pulling them out was the hardest part - even used a small mallet to "bump" them out!
