when they come out, they came off easy but be careful not to chip/scratch/or crack anything, I chipped off a piece of the glass for my 96 headlights, but I already had 97+ headlight on the car, so I was baking for practise.


put some fries in there with your lights

I put them in the oven and I couldn't even get them apart then. I don't think theres any way that a blowdryer would work. Can anybody tell me the trick to getting them apart? The part I couldnt get was the end that has the blinker on it. Do you have to remove the two small screws in the back?

I have a messed-up 00 light that I AE'd (it's re-sealed, but the back is melted...long story, my wife cranked up the oven while it was in there without knowing that it was in there) that I will sell for $25 + shipping if you want something to practice on...PM me if interested.

um... yeah.

does anybody know about painting the inside of the taillights to make them similar to the AE altima lights? (i know about the 2000-2001 SE lights) but i want the inside a matte black color like the smoked headlights for 2k2-3. possible to open up taillights in similar manner?
