DIY: 01+ tail light mod
*****************************************DON'T DO IT**************************************
Well so I couldn't really find any threads on 01+ taillight mod so thought I would try it out. Got an extra tail light to experiment on so why not. Heated up the oven to around 200 degrees and popped the taillight in for around 15minutes.
Tried prying it out and well got carried away, heard a crackle and well it was downhill from there.
Kept at it till I go to the amber bit just to see if it was possible to remove it. Well got to the amber bit and well it cannot be removed like the 98-00 taillights.
The glue that is used is not a silicon based like in the older taillights. Its more of an epoxy of sorts, close up of the glue is below.
If this was posted before, maybe I need to use the search button more lol..
