Painting Altezza

Does anyone know how to take Altezza lights apart so that I can paint them. I read a thread somewhere that gave the directions but I can't find it anymore.

most likely any other taillights, heat them up with a head gun, and slowly seperate them, make sure you heat in sweeping motions so you dont warp or melt the plastic, also get some clear silicon to re-seal them with

Page 1 at the bottom and yeah, what mclark said. But try to heat them up in the oven at 200 degrees for about 15-20 minutes. That way the lense and housing will heat up evenly.

Try taking the red lenses out and panting black on the reflective surface for a more aggressive look. You may need some super glue to get the red lenses to stay on...especially if you live somewhere hot, like Texas.
