I failed, after 2 hours of baking and trying to open the light i got pissed and pretty much melted the housing. This is not my first rodeo, I have done like 6 sets of headlights and a few tail lights and this is a PITA. I bought full on sonar LEDs instead.

Its funny you say that because I bought the plastic pry tools thinking that I would use them because they are a softer than a screwdriver but when I tried to put leverage on they just bent like a damn twizzler. But once I got the lens started with the screwdriver I did end up using the pry tool to hold a little separating pressure on the lense while I pried with the screwdriver.
But if I was going to do this again, and I will, I would just use a dremmel.


Ill throw this up for all the peeps who want to know what a light smoke would look like on these tails.

super easy ! get dremel cut blade( my dremel took a @#@#$# so i used drill and dremel stem and cut off disc) haha! took like 15 min each cleaned up plastic from edges then used clear goop plumber epoxy stuff(2$ @big lots) dries to clear and air/ water tight!

Bake method turns out way cleaner as far as sealing them back up, the dremel method is horrible imo. I broke my first set doing the bake method, its verrrrrrry tedious and takes a lot of patients. All together, its not as simple as most would think if you want a clean, factory look.

Does anyone have pictures of the light taken apart?

Holy cow this thread still lives!!

Doug - My opening post should have photos of them apart. If the photos are down I'll see about re hosting them for everyone

my clear strip looks somewhat pink when the sun hits it at certain angles... does anyone else have this problem???
the red bleeds into the clear or... the chrome housing is not flush with the clear strip and a small amount of red is reflecting off the chrome part.

Yeah it says they are unavailable. If you could rehost them and edit the first post that would be awesome

jriggs

photos re-hosted, looking at them reminds me of how rubbish the kitchen use to look before the remodel!

Why go through all this trouble when those tails are outdated anyway, upgrade and get some depos..

i agree. this looks better than the amber. but, the thing i dont like about our tails is when they light up at night they just arent appealing and remind me of an older camry. at any rate, yours looks better than factory in those pics fa sho

I did mine a couple of weeks ago..

With the age of the cars now I think if youre gunna go for this dont expect the lenses to come off without putting in a bit of effort and maybe getting a couple of hairline cracks in your lense for your troubles

I resealed with some black silicone and when the unit is refitted to the car you cant see the hairline cracks.. or two.

Only thing is, the clear section has a slight pinky haze to it fromt the rest of the red lense!? Oh well, still looks waaaaay better!

^^^^ the pink is from the turn signal and the red... There are clear turn signals that light up orange when they are on. Take the bulb out and u will see the pink go away. Someone posted a link for the bulbs u need to make the pink go away. They r on ebay too.
