Hey guys. Can you guys give me suggestions on how to properly open the Tail Light Assembly and also how to put them back. Would i need to bake em'? Which sealant or glue is best for putting em back together? Any help would be greatly appreciated O0

Hell NO!!! Got sum 8's and i just wanted to try to black out the chrome..Any suggestions?

- bake them to loosen the sealer
- do w/e you gotta do in the inside
- bake them again to seal them up ... prob simplest way for me

im just not sure at what temp ... i dont wanna tell you a temp and mess things us haha

[951evo8]

Do i need to add more sealant to put it back together or will the old sealant on there still work?

[Evo-Horchata]

I believe the same original sealant should work

BE CAREFUL!

Baking can have some bad effects... I've painted MANY headlights and tailights and I always use a heat gun. WAAAYYY easier. Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions...

And if you are in the north county area sunday, and are willing to give me a hand pulling the bumper and headlights off of a buddy's car so I can paint them, I'd be glad to help you do your tails.

Sounds like a deal to me! I'll hit you up if i can make it or not...i can prolly do it but in the afternoon.

^that's actually better for me... I have to drop my buddy off at the airport in the morning. So I'll be watching his car for him and painting his headlights while he is gone.

I did my headlights and melted a little bit of the plastic. If you bake em, just make sure your baby sitting em. Haha

good luck with this, I wanna see pics when ur done! =)

[evo8kid]

does anyone know the temp that you have to bake them at?

[HMatt]

I hear it's like 225... I would just get a heat gun...

Like I said before, I'm glad to help if you are around oceanside....
