Re: Help i cant get nb tail lights 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.
