99+ spec tail light conversion.
so this is for anyone who is wanting to do the conversion but is too poor
(or just doesnt want to spend $500) to buy the actual set or pay someone else to do it for them. i pulled the site from the archives so check it out! the pictures may not work but the instructions are all there.

Be careful, especially with the original outer smoked lens, it is very easy to crack it as the heat from the oven (combined with 15 years of weather exposure) makes them very easy to crack. (and yes, I am speaking from experience)

I tried doing this but quit after trying to heat it up. I got scared i might crack or overheat something and might end up having to buy a new set after messing it up trying to do it the cheap way.
