Nice. LDP Autoparts is local to me and Atobe. They are the go-to place when you don't want to do pick-a-part style junkyard diving.

Good luck with the project. Post of schematics 'n stuff so we can check 'em out. I'll be able to verify if it should work.

i just recieved my new taillights today and im trying to seperate the lens from the backing and i know its possible. im wondering if anyone knew how. i heard i gotta warm them up first because of sealant... is that true?

Probably, though I didn't look close. If you do try, make sure you remove the screws holding it together first.

If I was going to do this project, I would just do everything through the large hole in the back of the lights... You can build the LEDs in two sections and just slip them in there, hot-melt them down and you are good to go.

oh i got it.... preheat the oven at 225 and let it in the oven on some foil for 5 min and it warms it enough to pull it apart. as shown here.
