How do you take off your taillights?

I could not see any screws anywhere around them (unless i'm blind) so just like the subj says, and I'm lazy browsing thru 451 pages on this 4th Gen T4Rs forum. Anywayz, can someone post up a detailed instruction how to do this? :

It' actually very easy. You have to open the lift gate, and open the plastic side panels directly behind the taillights. You will have to remove 2 nuts on either side, I believe they are 8mm, but i could be wrong. You will know them by feeing around, as the bolt itself is very long, I'd say a full 1-2 inches long each. If you can't find them I will take some pictures of them tomorrow for you. Good luck.

Now that I think about it, I think it shows it in the owners manual. Either way, find the 2 screws, located directly behind each tail light. It takes 30 seconds to find them. Same place you would go to change the bulbs, as you have to remove one of them to separate the tail light assembly from the vehicle anyways.
