That's the thing I'm having trouble with. Popping that tab, lol

Well, they do suck. It's one of the screw out ones, correct? I had to break some of those and get more of the good ones.

No, no. The wheel well tabs are easy, it's the pop tab inside the side marker I'm having trouble with.

What kind of paint do you recommend? Does it have to be for higher temps? Also what do you think will be the best way to get a color match to asphalt. BTW I think your car looks fantastic.

I've failed to remove the side marker too..
Isn't the side marker must come out before that pop? It's the fifth one.

I'm so nervous about doing this. I wish a vendor would do it for me lol

I'm a guru at these headlights, I even started doing the blinkers, I've done about 5-6 sets including my own car. I charge about 150$

More or less

I only put it for about 6-8 min then just pry out like the head light . Then once done painting I put it back in the oven then put silicone around to seal it

I heard you could use it for the high beams and retain effectiveness. Might looks good for the whole headlight too?

topazsparrow · 07-10-2013, 03:48 PM

I wonder if the same thing could be done for the tail lights?
