These look very nice. But can't you bake the tail lights open similar to the method used to bake the head lamp housings open? I don't know, it's not something I did research on. But just wondering if the tail lights can be put in the oven to loosen the glue to disassemble (if there is glue at all).

^Nope, you will just melt everything if you do that. They are sealed different than the headlights, so you need to dremmel them to get them open.

Still haven't had a chance to take pictures with a real camera, but here is a day shot at least.





I promise to get real photos soon, just need to take care of some things this week!

Just clear silicone. I tried some "aquarium glue", because it looked ideal for the purpose, but I ended up with silicone because it's so much smoother to work with without getting funky edges.

I'm doing another set this week/weekend, I'll make sure to take pictures of the process.
