I have a 68 chevelle malibu. my new set of LED taillights are in the mail from Technostalgia. The unit replaces the entire tail light bulb housing. My question maybe simple for you guys, but i need some help. How do i remove the bulb housing and lenses? Do they bolt in somehow? If not how do i get them off? Any help would be greatly appreciated.- Eric

I 'think' a '68 is pretty much like a '69. You remove the quarter panel 'extension' that includes the lens and housing. It then disassembles out on the bench. If you look CLOSE inside the trunk there will be 4 or 5 nuts around the outer edge of the extension. With those and the bulbs out, the whole thing drops off. Like I said, I think its like a '69.
