Looks great bro...

I am going to attempt my tails soon...how hard was it and could you give any pointers? Anything I should know about ahead of time? I did my headlights...was pretty simple...but I hear that the tails are "glued" together...where as the headlights only had that silicone sealer.

Thanks bud

For the tail, you need to bake one at a time in the oven for 15 minutes at temp 275 F.
Wear your thick gloves then use strong box cutter or x-acto knife to cut the black glue apart from lense and housing. You may also use heat gun for a little help.
The rest you can do the search on this forum. I would recommend to get your buddy with you at all time.
Enjoy...

Cool thank you. I've seen all the other write ups...just wondering if you encountered anything different then what they did. How hard would you say this is versus the headlights?

Thanks Bro!

Beautiful evo, I love the headlights but am not to crazy about the tails (JDM reds still look better on blue IMO). Overall though, your evo is awesome.

You're welcome bro.I personally think the tails was easier to do because I didn't have to take the front bumper off.
Be aware to protect your lense not to have any scratch by put soft cloth on working area.
If you can do headlights...then you can do tails for sure.

hey rukz what do you think the turn around time for the headlights would be if you only opened them up and took out the amber lenses? ive been wanting to do that perhaps you'd be willing to help me out when im back in socal in the next few days
