I think the methods sound good to dissassemble back lights to clear them out but should I test it out before I do it? junk yards should sell that piece.

it wouldn't hurt...if you can get it cheap...i was gonna look into doing that, but i don't know where i can really get my hands on a test lense, so i'm just gonna go for it when i do it this summer...but my main problem is going to be cutting out the new flourescent piece...but i'll solve that somehow...but if you have a test piece available to you for cheap, i say try it out, so you don't risk yours at the start

Don't need to buy one. suggest do it yourself first and if crack, then buy a another one. Cuz, it is pretty easy to do the tail and why spend the money and time and space for extra tails. Yeah, unless the tails are really really cheap. But I doubt the junk yard will sell cheap nowaday for a fairly new car (97 above are pretty new for them).

Boiling water? WTF? Set your EZ bake oven to 225 - 250 Deg. Bake for 15 to 20 min on a cookie sheet lined with a kitchen towel.

Comes apart like butter. Do the same to re-assemble.

new lights retail will cost you $100 EACH at the dealership..
used lights will run you from $65 - $100 for one in good condition..

now this is no way me trying to scare you into buying a BRAND NEW set from me ALREADY CLEARED for $170 for BOTH when they are $200 NOT CLEARED from the dealership for BOTH and $130 - $200 for USED NOT CLEARED lights from the junkyard.. or you could ask one of my many satisfied customers to sell you one of their spare sets they have after the BRAND NEW CLEARED LIGHTS i made for them for $170

http://64.252.159.123/tails/

if you need names of people who i have sold to and have stock lights .. let me know..

or

check http://www.car-parts.com for used light prices..
