Opening Up Tail Lights
Has anyone opened up the rear tail lights? Did you have bake it like the headlights or did you just prey it open?

others can maybe verify for sure. but, i thought from what i've read here...that it can NOT be done at all (without damaging them). again...only what i've been told - never tried it personally.

Yeah, I don't think you can open them.

I don't think you can since you can't open up the tail lights. I'm assuming they just spray directly over the tail light w/ a coat of clearcoat.
