Remove Old Tail Light Assemblies

What happens here

Carefully remove the old, broken tail light assemblies from the truck's rear. Note the poor design, including dry-rotted rubber gaskets and a rock wedged in place to provide a temporary ground. Use wire cutters to snip the old wiring, as it will be replaced. This step also involves straightening any bent metal brackets using an adjustable wrench.

Goal: Dismantle and detach the damaged tail lights and their wiring.
