Thank you for the lead, I've decided I'll have to develop some monkey arms and reach up underneath the fender and undo the two nuts to release the taillight assembly.

Very nice upgrade indeed!

One process of detailing I'd like to add is the use of a decontamination solution that removes imbedded contaminates like iron from the paint, glass, etc. You would be amazed at the amount of stuff, invisible to the naked eye, that is imbedded into the paint. These contaminates cannot be removed with a clay bar or simply washing the car. These iron removers loosens the debris, which appears as reddish streaks when it's working and then is simply washed off.

Your paint will appear smoother, shinier and have greater depth of color. You simply spray the body panels, glass and even metal surfaces and it goes to work in minutes removing the embedded iron and contaminates. This link has pictures of the results of using the product and some recommended products. This is probably the cheapest detailing product that has the biggest impact on the cars finish.

I've found these two sites to be the best for explaining the detailing process, from washing to polishing, etc. The second series has a lot of information aimed at the professional detailer, but is invaluable to the individual doing his own cars as well.
I maintain my own cars, as for washing I use my compressor along with a foam cannon to pre soak the cars surface with soap. I then use the two bucket method (along with grit guards) to wash the cars. The exception being the CSX which I wash just using the two bucket method using Adam's or Chemical Guys car soap. For drying I use a electric leaf blower and a waffle weave MF towel.  I often apply a quick detailer during the toweling off which adds additional gloss and seems to speed drying time.

I'll add additional if I think of anything relevant to this thread.

The work to resolve the site's issues is much appreciated.   

Still looking for a definitive answer. Anyone? 

Can someone enlighten me the correct way to change out the taillight bulbs on a CSX 4000 series?  These are the stock rectangular one's.  I can reach underneath the fender and see the bulb but there must be a correct way to better access these.
Thank you for your assistance.

Great looking CSX tutosnake.

The hard work to reestablish this site is very much appreciated!
