Default Tail Light Removal

Hellos,

I am tempted to switch the taillights (including the 3rd brake light) to the tinted amg version. Is it hard to remove the taillights, anything I should watch out for ?

Thanks!!

I can get the info that should detail it for you if you want mate sure.

Have you thought about getting MB to do it if you buy the lenses from the same dealer they would prob do the swap for you and save you the hassle.

Its your call mate let me know either way basically you need to remove -

Side carpets
Trunk back wall (that backs onto the bumper not the passenger compartment)
Seals
Trunk lid plastic cover

Thanks again!!
