Car washes apparently hate taillights!

A few months ago I took my Jeep Wrangler through an automatic tunnel wash and it ripped one of the taillight pods off. The car wash manager paid for the damage luckily.
Today, I'm doing a quick manual wash of the Daily Boxster and the hose from the wand knocked the big brush off the wall right into the back of the car!




Unbelievable!

My mechanic may have a used replacement assembly, he's looking, but if not I can get a clean one on eBay for $60-$70. Hopefully it would come in before the Eureka Springs VW-Porsche show on the 28th.

Looks like the removal is fairly straightforward...


Remove these 4 nuts, unplug the socket, and slide out I presume?
If there are any other steps or tricks to replacing this light assembly please let me know.

And if anyone in OK (RedTele...?) has a spare assembly they can sell also let me know.
Thank you!

Now I'm going to go try to have a better day!
