Changing the orange tails on the Boxster to
clears!
(do this at your own risk of course, and I didn't keep
track of socket size, but they're small, and metric!)

Step 1: Buy the kit from Sunset Imports
(talk to Jeff at 1-800-346-0182)
This is the only place I know of that sells the tails AND the new
gaskets in a kit!!! Everyone else makes you re-use the existing gaskets, and
they're pretty nasty. I got the kit for $161 plus $10 shipped (and with other
parts!!)
Step 2: Follow these instructions:
WARNING: There is NO need for any pressure applied to ANY part of this install, if you are experiencing having to apply pressure to ANY piece of the install, you are doing it WRONG and STOP THERE!
Pass side (easiest)
Just pull/twist the two black carpet holders off, and
yank the carpet piece completely out - exposing all four nuts, undo the nuts and
wire harness, and out it'll pop.
Driver Side (not so easy, but not hard either)
Again, undo the black plastic carpet holders, yank out the carpet piece and
again, all 4 nuts exposed. Just remember to re-attach the metal clip that holds
a wire (to what I don't know) in place. It might be the trunk release cable
actually.
