Does anyone know how to open the taillights? i see 5 screws on it and removed them all and still wouldn't budge. Probably some sort of glue on it. Has anyone taken them apart yet?

Yes its in the stickies

You have to put them in the oven for like 10-15 min so the glue melts and then you pull them apart...there really hot...

Be careful! If you're taking them off the car, that black tar that holds them in can get messy! The white glue that holds the lenses on isn't too bad. Use a thin utensil to pry the lenses off once they come out of the oven and do it carefully so you don't crack them like I did!

i found that they came apart real easy after i took them out of the oven. i just stuck a chisel(anything wide and flat will work) in the crack, and twisted the handle. really easy!
