How to take apart the tailights?

« on: August 01, 2008, 11:49:26 PM »

Been scracthing my head for a while now about doing l.e.d tailights, and decided to start the proccess.
I started unscrewing the tailight today, and i believe there were 8 or maybe more screws, after unscrewing all of them, i thought its going to be loose and I would have been able to take it apart, but i couldnt.
It only leads me to think that I have to put it in the oven like when you do the headlights?

Honestly I don't remember. I think 5-10 and check it every couple of minutes to be save
never done the rear, only the headlights.
