how to remove back tail light covers?

im workin on a new project for my maxima... putting LED's in for the brake and turn signal but i read that puttin your tail light in the oven for 10-15 min at low temp will melt the glue but this method did not work... i am wondering if anyone out there has tried to remove there tail light cover... please help... and also how to remove the yellow piece off the 2003 maxima... i am practicing using my old tailight i got with the car.... any help would be appreciated.

how to remove back tail light covers?

i dont kno how to remove the cover but i tryed to clear out my 03 maxima tail light, but i cracked it. the 02-03 tail light is one piece. so if u want to get rid of the yellow u probably hav to cut it.

yeah, you'd have to do some cutting.
it's not as easy as doing the headlights.
