You didn't mention the year car you have, but on my 89 you pop the hatch glass and at the top are 2 large recessed phillips head screws you have to remove, then it pulls right off..I will mention that you have to use a stubby screwdriver to get to the screws, not much room under there.....WW

I have the roof mounted safety light but with 60 LED chips in it. VERY BRIGHT. Adds to my LED-with Halo effect taillights!

I LOVE Leds.

no need to remove the fuel door. i did my 96 last summer, and if i remember correctly, i removed the license plate, [correction] and the license lamp assembly - not the back-up lights. seems to me there are two (2) 7mm screws holding the assembly to the rear fascia.

Remove the license plate and the lamp assembly and you should be able to reach up through the opening to get to the mounting screws.
