Default tail lights

does any know how to remove the glass of front/rear tail lights.

I have an aftermarket tail light kit which are carbon fiber and trimmed with white. REcently, and i have the slightest clue, the trimming started to get hazzy...kinda yellowish but a light yellow.

I know that you have to bake them and remove it but i wanted to know if anyone had done this recently and had some tips or knew of a write up were i can do this. I know i say one but i cant seem to find it. THis guy did his front light.

I was think about either painting the trimm in black or possibly painting the whole inside in the same color as the car. (charcoal pearl)..wat do ya'll think?

Never have gotten a good answer on taking the rears appart. The "baking" is only for the front ones . . . .

cant be done, the absolute only way to take the tail lights apart is cutting them. If you bake or heat them up theyll either melt or break while your trying to take them apart.. trust me I have tried.

Silicone may seal it, its not positive so I would suggest just getting new lights before you try anything.
