well i finally had some time on my hands and decided to clear out my tails. i think they turned out really well, and it was incredibly easy to do with an oven and dremel tool with the thin cutting bit. EXTREMELY EASY i cannot stress enough. the whole process took less than an hour and i couldn't be happier with the result. check out the pics:

an awesome mod for 5 bucks for the light reflector

 

nice... this is on my to-do list!

 

go with the oven method and use a dremel, much much easier than things ive heard using a heatgun and acrilic cutter.

 

i freaking didn't have any of those tools so i used a flat head and a hammer and hammered away around the tailights until it was easy to yank out. took a while

 

wow they didnt crack when you were doin that? i found them to be very fragile
