Re: Tail light trim?

No pics but the trim piece has 4 tabs very easy to see. That is were the clips go. One corner of the clip goes under that tab and the other goes under the bent over ridge on the other side oppisite of the tab. The long tail of the clip pops into place under the same ridge to hold the clip in place.

Are you sure you have the right clips??

Re: Tail light trim?

heres a pic of what i have. i put them on but im not 100% sure if their right, and dont want to remove them cause i had a hell of a time. the green one i modified a bit to look more like the black one because i didnt have enough of the back ones. the second pic is how i put them. sorry its not the greatest work but the yellow is the trim and the blue is the clip shown from the back side.

I have a crappy monitor, so I can't see good, but for sure you need to turn the clip 1/4 turn. And maybe flip it overI can't tell. Some of the clips have a support brace that pushes againts the trim. That brace goes towards the trim and adds pressure.

Re: Tail light trim?

The arrow points go under the two lips (the big tab and the other lip). Then take the long thin wire and pull it back till it pops in under the lip too to hold the clip in place.
