There is non, you need to pull off the rear panel and you see black wing nuts, unscrew those and the tail light should be out, and then unplugg the socket and installing is simple.

yep, I don't know how camaros are (I'm guessing you have a camaro by your name), but on the firebird you have to take some panels off in the trunk and there are 6 wingnuts per light assy. On the left assembly however, you have to contort your hand a little bit to get to the wingnuts.

Ya, on the Camaro take the back panel that covers the latch assembly off and you will see black wingnuts holdin the light in. Take those off and the light assembly will be able to pull out.
