how do i replace the tail light in an 06 pontiac torrent?

[Jimmy S]

rear tail light housing won't come off when i remove the two bolts out. Is there another bolt i'm missing, or is it clipped in? I don't want to break the housing.

I had the same problem. Here is what you need to do. Remove the two bolts, then you need to pull sideways. There is like 2 long metals parts that goes in with pressure, so it need to come out with pressure, one on top and the other one in the bottom.I don't know how you call those parts. If you're facing the back of your car, pull to your left. Tapping it at the same time you pulling will help. It will take some effort but it will come out. Good luck.

Try to do it on a warmer day. I did it on a cold day and I ended up breaking one of the clips.
