Ok stay with me last question since I'm doing my tails this weekend. Did you sand the clear parts of the lights or did you just tape them off and finally did you clear coat the clear part of the light?

Taped off the clear part along with the gray plastic. I used the green painters tape because it held up better against the water when wet sanding. I left the tape on to clear coat because the clear area was still shiny.

Not saying that you can't do it, but this was one thing that I had to practice at to get it right. Like I stated before, I did mine 4 times... I had to sand it all the way back down each time.

Gl and godspeed...

Did you remove the A-Pillar tape? Is it hard to do so?

Black tC2s do not have A pillar tape. However, I did help my wife peel hers off her white 2011 xB... was a pain.
