I need to remove the tail light, running lights, third brake light and running light lense to get them blacked out. Will someone tell me how to remove these lights? Thanks in advance.

just uncrew the single screw in each of the brake lights, THEN reach in through the center brake lights and remove the 10mm nuts holding the 3rd brake light to the bumper. There are 4 of them, two are accessible from each side. You will need a small 10mm wrench or socket

Sometimes the 3rd brake light seems stuck to the bumper, but once the bolts are out, it should come up with a little effort. I think some were attached while the paint was still a little wet.
