Remove/replace Tail light Assembly

[wwilliams88]

Looking for instructions for removing and installing the tail light assemblies on a 2013 Cayenne base. Thanks in advance for your help.

It would appear the same method as the early Cayennes.

Remove the two (capped) screws at the inside edge of the light assembly (inside the hatch opening).

Thanks. Will give it a try once the parts arrive.

Confirmed. There are two screws behind a little plastic panel which is visible next to the tail light with the rear hatch open. There is also a ball and socket configuration which retains the other end of the tail light flush with the body and bumper cover. Pry off the panel with your fingers, remove the two screws, and gently tug on the tail light assembly straight backwards to get the ball to release from the socket.

I could not determine how to remove the harness plug properly. There is a little tab on the tail light assembly which retains the plug that I ended up breaking in my attempts to remove it. Since I was replacing the tail light anyway (it was cracked), it didn't matter to me. But it would be nice to know the proper procedure if anyone has done this before on the 92A.

Thanks for the advice.
