Default how to clear rear taillights **PICS**56k DIEE**

man i just finished doing a write up and it all disappeared when i submitted because i used too many HTML codes. last year i cleared my rear turn signal but i accidently cracked it so i decided to buy one from a junk yard and redo that side. well i finally got around to it so i decided to do a write up since i got a camera couple weeks ago and i'm so excited with the new camera.

first pic is of the new headlight from junkyard

start heating up the flat side first, once you get a small opening stick a screw driver in it to create pressure while yuo continue to heat
