96-97 outer tail lights installation

I'm thinking about getting Cefiro tail lights. For those of you who've already cleared their tails or installed Cefiro ones, I would really appreciate it if you could give me instructions for the installation. I'm a newbie at this kind of stuff and I don't wanna mess anything up. Thanks a lot.

open trunk. Remove clips holding trunk carpeting in place. Remove the bulb wire harnesses. Remove the bolts holding the lens in place. Push the lens out from the back, it takes a bit of muscle to do it. Watch out for the black goo stuff, it's impossible to get off.

don't get the cefiro tails, they don't look that good and really don't match up as well as if you cleared your stock ones

If you clear your stock tails, how hot do you set the overn on in order NOT to crack the lense? I am always worried about melting part or all of the tail light when putting it on the rack in the oven. If anyone has done this, please let me know the proceedure in order to do this right. Thanks again!

Don't use the oven, use a heat gun. That way you can put the heat where you need it. I have tried every method, and the heat gun is the best.

and I have a whole write up on this in the FAQ's
