Yes, you need to remove your tails.

To remove them, pop the plastic cover off of the top of the light. Remove the two 10mm screws. Unlike the 350z, however, you aren't done here.

There's another bolt with a nut that anchors the inside of the light to the chassis. In order to get to this bolt, you need to pop off the corner/side plastic molding (the one that has the luggage tie down clips). Once you do that, you should be able to see the little bolt and nut facing the tail light.

Each light has those three bolts- two 10mm at the top and the one bolt behind the trunk molding.
