I hated changing the spark plugs.

 

it almost seems that it would be easier to remove them from the bottom

 

it almost seems that it would be easier to remove them from the bottom theres a hole in the subframe that u can see they are right there large enough to fit ur hand through...just gotta take the maifold off and the throttle body to get the wires and **** off

 

thanks for the info.....theres an easier way to get the lights apart..put them in the oven (if able to) at 225 degrees and let them sit in ther on foil for a couple mins checkin constantly once they get heated enough they u will be able to pry them apart use a flathead screw driver if needed and there ya go...did this with some headlights a while back and worked better than a heat gun because it gives a constant temp over the whole assembly...hope that helps anyone else tryin to do this....

 

thanks for putting up that link I think I might try this out this week

 

I used that same website for my tailights, they came out awesome

 

yeap, pretty easy to do. I also used that write up from that site.

 

I tried the oven trick and had to use 275 degrees for ~5mins to get the goo soft enough so that I could get the lens off. Oven temperatures probably vary quite a bit, so if you do this be careful not to make a molten glob of taillights in your oven and take your time prying the lenses off after you have them heated up
