The White looks SICK!! How do you do it anyway? is there a secret for getting the glass part off?

Do you just take the heat gun around the outside of the glass of what?

After removing all of the removable pieces from the lights, preheat the oven to 225 degrees. Seven minutes on a baking tray (so the contact points don't melt on the rack) will get the sealant warm enough to come apart. Start at one corner with a thin flathead to begin prying the light apart and then use your gloved hands to separate the two halves. The rest is pretty intuitive. Reassembly is easy, just press the two halves back together as much as possible with the sealant cooled off and put it back in the oven, same time and temp. Pull them out, push together hard with your hands and masking tape them together. Set in a cool place for 30 min or so and you're ready for putting the bulbs, harnesses, etc. back in the light.

I think I am a bigger fan of the white/white match than the red/red match. Like the other guys said though, nice work :-).

I lie them body color, but I think it depends on the color of the car. A TB Evo would look great with painted housings but I think a WW Evo would look pretty messed up.
