Need to figure out how to take apart my S5 Tails.

Alright, I'm going to take my tail lights apart, but I don't want to screw anything up. The insides are going to be cleaned out and I'm removing the little textured window dealie. Does anyone have a diagram (preferably exploaded view) of how to disassemble the S5 tail lights?

do a search for "modernized taillights" or for "taillight mod" i know theres a guy who took his S5s apart and pulled the fuzzy looking plastic out, im pretty sure he tells how to do it but its supposed to be pretty difficult not to crack it

Use a hammer. Hit it.... hard. It will come apart.... easily.

The FSM tells you how to take them apart IIRC. It tells you to use a blow dryer to soften the hot melt sealant an then carefully pry it apart.
