Hi

I have invested in a set of the nice dark-tinted rear lights for my 2013 Cayenne.
(http://content3.eu.porsche.com/prod/pag/tequipment/TeqFinder.nsf/TeqFinder?ReadForm&country=gb, then select Cayenne E2/MY11+, Exterior...)

I'm looking for some tips on how to remove the existing lights (esp the parts that are mounted on the tailgate) and fit new ones?

(I have figured out how to get at the outer lights on the rear wings - it's the ones on the tailgate that have me stumped)

The trick I'm missing is how to remove the carpet /interior trim on the tailgate so as to get at the lights mounted on the tailgate itself - seems like the trim is held on by concealed clips/poppers, but I haven't been able to work out how to un-pop it.

Many Thanks for any advice

I gave in, and had a Porsche Centre do it for me.
Took about an hour, but the improvement to the look of the car is impressive.
Looks like a Porsche now, less like a Nissan from the rear :)
