just take them out, take your time, dont get the can to close to the lights, and do nice even coats. i didnt sand mine just cleaned them and sprayed them. and use some clearcoat to get there to be mroe glossy looking

Take a weekend and do it yourself, make sure you take your time. I had my tail's sent to a guy in Texas that did them for 50 though.
