150* in an oven for 20 minutes and the outer tail light cover comes off. You have to use a scrapper to gradually help open it up all the way around like opening a clam. Then you can repaint the inside half with silver paint so they are brighter when you put it back together. Then you just glue it back together and put them back on.

There's a whole write up somewhere.

You have to buy either a whole new tail light assembly or get some GTS blackouts to cover it.
