about opening them up. Its not like I can replace them if I bugger one up. I have opened some alturds up before and it was fairly easy, but this is a little different.

dubbya, mine are painted on the inside. i was frickin nervous too, so i precticed on an altezza. it really is pretty easy. just put it in the oven at the right temp for a few minutes. check it. if not, just put it back in and check it again in a few. as long as you don't force it open, you'll be fine. the paingint went pretty well, too. if you want more details on how i did mine, send me a PM. i did them just this past july, so i'm still pretty familiar with it. good luck!

Good find! If I still had a 95/96 Trunk lid I'd be jealous

When I bought my car, it already had those clear tails. The guy I bought it from stuck some crappy red bulbs in it that made it look pink. Cops kept pulling me over for them. I put in red leds and they look much better. They light up bright red and cops don't bother me anymore. I picked up a 97-99 trunk lid so as soon as I get it painted and pick up the new bumper along with new tails I'll probably be selling mine but it's gonna be a few months.

Wow, I never knew two Co.s produced them. This is the first Ive heard of this. I know for a fact the majority of them were made by APC. I didnt even think TYC was around when the clears were first being released.

So I see they arrived safely. I was going to email you to see if everything was OK with them. Like you I am not sure why the bottom turned yellow but not the top. I did give them a quick polish when I had them and removed some of the yellow. Well glad you like them and enjoy.
