Usually autozone rents you free tools with a deposit( For the heatgun) or you can do using 2 hair dryers at once. Takes a bit longer but it works, Make sure to have a caulking gun ready

Ask to use the oven at Pizza Hut

I had an extra tail light and tried to separate with not much success..Just be careful because its different than opening headlights..I also used a heat gun..

your right, it is diffrent... i thought it would be more flat like, but its not. its designed more like a pizza box sealed all the way around.

well i tried it with a heatgun and this is what happen(so frustrating).




i figured after i take out the GS300 i'll redo the lense with a thin sheet of plexiglass. half way thru i peek inside and saw this.



that is whats holding the GS300 in place. so if i was to remove the GS emblem it would of left some little holes in the middle of the taillight.

im still gonna de-badged the whole car before it gets painted. but with that option out of the way, i'll try tint spraying my taillights for now untill i find some ARISTO taillight and do what 1BIGJZS147 did to his.
