The passenger side Tail Light Assembly on my 2007 Honda Odyssey is broken and must be replaced. I have the replacement unit in hand but can't seem to figure out how to replace the old unit. How do you remove this assembly? Do you need to remove the entire plastic panel from the read door to get to the tail light assembly or can you just get to the screws to remove the assembly itself.
Yes, you have to remove the plastic panel. It is mostly held by spring clips. You can see how to remove it at the link below.

Loosen ther interior plastic to gain access to the 2 hidden nuts. We use an articulated ratchet to get to the bolts, however. Not hard to do.

I had the HARDEST time with the lights...I never realized changing a bulb would be so difficult. Once you unscrew what you need to, go into the trunk and pull the lining away from the back part of the light. There are the white prongs that you will need to tap with a hammer until they pop out and then the light assembly will come out. Be careful though, I got a little too impatient and broke mine. I used a binding agent to hold it back in place though...GOOD LUCK!

each bulb should be in a socket that is accessable from the trunk... it take a half turn or so to remove it.....

Open the trunk and along the bottom of the tail light, there should be a Philips screw securing a cover piece. (your car may or may not have this piece)
With the cover off, there will be another 2 screws securing the bottom of the tail light assembly. Remove the screws and pull the bottom out and the top is held in by two retainers that should just slide right out

You have to rip it out after removing the two 10 mm nuts, the catch at the front was not designed to let go until you bang it and cause the shade to break , stupidest thing I ever saw
