Default need help 97 tail disassembly
Hey guys I'm really having trouble removing the diffuser inside the 97 tails I posted a picture and accidentally cracked a bit of the edges but not too much. Wondering on some help if I'm just doing this wrong

Use a little more heat to get past the glue on the edges. Along with patience, precision pulling.

What are you trying to accomplish? Removing a "diffuser"? Where is a diffuser in the tail light?
