the lens cannot be baked but must be cut off. Once cut off you can then paint the insides. To replace the lens you can use High end Automotive silicone or Butyl Glue of which I recommend the later.

Beware this is a risky mod... much more so than the headlights.

hot knife? you mean literally?

this will suck if i end up not liking the outcome.. would have to think of a way to take off the krylon fusion paint AND stick the lens back on..

i found a site that sold the tails for $700, was the cheapest out of the 4 sites i checked out, is anything below that? im in canada, so the shipping and reputability of the site would have to be considered as well.
