I realise this isn't everyone's thing, so I'm not after opinions - but I was wondering how the hell I am meant to get the lens off the taillights to do this? Is there an 'easy' way? Also, once I get them off, what would be the best product to get them back on?
Cheers. |

Cheers. Dont take them off they are glued on with heat reactive glue so they dont leak just mask them up and spray the outside with clear coat that has a little bit of black mixed with it the more coats the darker they will be

If so, what would you, or anyone recommend? |

Yes clear coat over the top, to make it all shiney.

Alright, finally got around to it today, tinted and clear coated - I finished coating it about 2 hours ago - how long till you guys rekon it would be till I could fit them to my car again and know that the clear coat will be alright? The can suggests like 5-7 days for FULL drying but I'm really hoping for earlier than that lol.

put them in a hot room, a heated room to speed up the process. But dont put them in the oven because the glue might come loose.

This 'Night Shades' I put on my repeater blinkers and let them dry like normal paint gave them a few hours in the sun. They were fine, so putting them in a warm hot room is just a precaution.

If you use acrylic clear you should be right after a couple of hours if you use 2 pac or enamel it would take a couple of days unless you bake it or heat it with a heat gun
