I'll check with a shop first, but if it's going to be ridiculous as far as price, I'll do it myself!

Taping off the clear part of the lens is pretty easy using pinstripe tape then painters tape. I have a few pics in my journal.

Oooo, can't wait to do mine like this! great job! I'll prob use your tutorial and do them myself. I'll have the dealership take off my 3rd light before hand. Also while I have them off I'll do the bulb mod.

Is the 3rd light easy to put back on myself? Also, You can still see your lights really well for two coats, I may try to get away with applying 3.

Thanks for the info! :happydance:

Yeah the 3rd brake light is a lot easier to reinstall than to remove. You will need to plan ahead and have a new gasket ready (purchase from your dealer or one of the sponsor dealers here, I think I paid something less than $30).

Good luck! Post pics!
