Trying to take NB8A tail lights out and put in NB8B tail lights i toke out all the bolts and its loose but doesn't wanna come out?

How many bolts/screws have you removed?

I did it recently on an NB8A, from memory:

There's 2 nuts to remove that are sitting horizontally and 1 screw sitting vertically.

Then you need to jiggle the light assembly out. You may have to push sideways on the light, it may not go out in a straight line.

After thought: Have a look at your new NB8B tail light assembly to work out how it slides out.

If you're 100% sure you've taken all the bolts out, then give it a firm whack. They tend to get stuck in place if they haven't been removed in a long time/ever.

Hey yeh i got the sucker out but the indicator light socket was a bit different using the same wiring as nb8a but i manged to fit it in a angle looks good.
