Retrofit/baking tail lights

[shrekmoose]

I have seen a few trucks with clear tails that have the housings painted to match. Now I know these are aftermarket tails but how are they getting these things open to paint them. Talked to one place and they want 600 bucks and that doesn't count price of the lights.

No need to open them up. Just spray the paint in through the socket holes with an air brush.

That's the best advice I've heard so far.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not.

I haven't seen any clear tail lights painted to match but I have seen painted head lights. It'll probably be cheaper if you open the tail lights for them and only have them paint it for you.

The tail lights have to be cut open with a dremel or hot knife. Headlights can be baked open.

Is there any where showing where to cut the tails with a Dremel or knife. Just doesn't seem like they would go back together well being cut with a dremel. I've been baking headlights for years and can paint the housings I just need to get the tails apart.
