Good Question! I am interested in this too. from what I understand you are NOT able to bake them like you can your headlights but would like to know how to get into them.

i asked this question too, headlights were easy, but i think you need to dremmel the "plastic weld" on the rears, so ppl were saying that when you put them back together they look like crap.

^^This. You have to dremel the tails to open them. Usually when you do they don't look good unless you smoke/tint them to make them pretty dark, but then its almost pointless anyway.

The worst part of it all is even assuming u do a fantastic job in opening and blacking out the housing what will u do with the pinkish tint on the clear cover.

Makes the 180 shipped tail lights on eBay totally worth it
