re....don't bake your tail lights :)

in an effort to help people understand the high's and lows of DIY's....make sure you are 100% sure of what you are doing, before you do it. In my case I wanted to heat up my tail's to remove the amber piece. Well, the last I saw on the board someone had said they heated to 400 degrees, so since I couldn't get on the board all weekend, I went with that.....hehehhe...bad mistake!
Now i'm just waiting to get paid again to goto the local Pick N pull to pick out some new lights. I posted ealier this week about it, but figured I'd go snap some photos of them also....so prepare to laugh, cry, or just point with a sly grin on your face

That's a nice set of tail lights you got there, haha.

I mean, you can be sure that's unique.

dood....just preheat and turn the oven OFF for a few minutes...before keeping the tails on a tray...you should just be melting the glue..not the lenses (i'm sure you knew that to begin with)....at least you know how to get the amber out NOW!

How come it will only cost you 15 bucks to replace them?

I have a local Pick N Pull here in San Antonio just south of Lackland AFB *Where I work* I gave them a call the otehr day to check on prices and it's only going to cost me 15 bucks. About 20 bucks for a new steering wheel. I might have a bit of trouble finding the taillights, but at least getting the sterring wheel will be easy enough! I love that place!

You should hook me up with a pair of tail lights if you find them. PM me if you do.
