Tail light lens disassembly
Has anyone taken their tail light lens apart? It seems to be "clicked" together with 10 or so little tabs. I have ordered new gaskets and when installing them, I'd like to disassemble the lens and polish the inside. Because water has seeped in and dried many times, I am guessing it has left a residue and I'd like to clean it out while installing the gaskets.
I am going to install LED lamps across the rear and also in the front turn signals. Thanks for insights and advice, Jerry |

Jerry - I had mine almost apart, but found that someone had broken some of the pieces, and then sealed the light back together with calking or a sealer, so it would not come apart like I thought it should. I found that if I got it apart, I didn't think I would get it back together properly. I wanted to drive the car, so got it back as best I could, and ordered another one. I will be getting the other one this week, and then I am going to try taking it apart again. If I destroy or break it, at least I will have another, but will know how to, or how not to disassemble it. I will let you know. Any luck on the LEDs?
