Default How do you change out the tail lights?

I bought some 2019 z06 taillights for my 2017 grandsport. I cant figure out how to get to the bolts for the lights.

You will have to remove the rear fascia, then all is fairly straight forward.

Watch this. The "Dude" shows you how to remove the fascia to install a spoiler. Just ignore the spoiler part and just concern yourself with removing the fascia which he does. It's not that difficult. If your have the correct tools he says it takes about 20 minutes to remove and install.
