Hey guys,

Im fairly new to the site but am experiencing an issue that i need some help on.... I recently tried cutting open my tail lights to perform a new mod i had in mind... and needless to say.... i screwed them up horribly and had to order a new set....

I was wondering if anyone could show some pics or possibly write up a how-to on cutting open the tails so other people don't experience the same problem i had.....

Any input would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I understand that people have pictures out there... but what is used to cut... where exactally do you begin and how deep do you cut... all thats fun stuff

its not worth trying to cut into them its easyer to just buy them pre done... you will hardly ever get them sealed right and most often it will look like crap...

the only probem is this is a custom application that no one offers.... it was a mod that i had in mind that i have not seen done

From that thread that Hans posted:

That's where to cut them apart. Use a Dremel with a cutting wheel/disc.
