I'll take some tonight. The problem is the LED's mess with my phone's camera and makes 'em flicker even when the brake lights on on solid. I do have video also, just not sure how to compress the files.

You have to push outward on the inside of the trim, not the outside. I did it wrong for about 20 minutes until i accidentally got it off - then looking at it realized I was applying pressure the wrong way.

I'm not sure if that will make sense so i can try and post a shot of what i'm talking about in a few

I was using the Trim Removal set from Outmotoring.com . They worked very well.

no need to by those one function tools. i just grabbed at small flat head screwdriver. if you want to be extra careful, just put some tape on it.

As for putting the video up. If you are putting it to youtube you can use your HD video. When I use my HD camera I just click on the main file that the HD camera makes. If you look at the file there will be a bunch named the same, but it the larger one. Youtube will convert the file.
