Has anyone taken the tail lights apart yet? Any pointers for getting these things open?

How come your taking the tail lights apart first off? lol

^^So he can customize them

@ Bloodborn, you want to heat them up so the glue softens, then pull the lens off of them.
Here is a link for you on someone who did headlights:

FOR THE TAILLIGHTS, USE 200 DEGREES FOR 5 MINUTES. ANYTHING MORE WILL MELT THE CASING!!!!

You cant bake the tails like the headlights. They have to be cut open. I was the first to do it a while back. Search for 08 custom taillights. If you can't find it I'll post the link when I get home because I'm on my phone now

^^^ Not true, I have baked open several sets of taillights. Not the tC 2 yet, but I have done plenty

Bloodborn

I wanna do some painting on em. Yeah, you cant bake these things...believe me they have been in my oven a few times now. I got some diamond cutting wheels yesterday, gonna just cut em open.

Were they tc tails? I'm almost positive they can't be baked open

WellesleyScion

No, not tC tails yet. I have done hondas, acuras, and subbies...

If people have tried and failed baking them open, I may be wrong...

Dude that is sick! Welp, here goes nothing...if I screw it up I buy new ones. Though from the pics looks like you guys were enjoying cutting into those things a little too much haha.

Thanks for the input BTW to both of you guys
