ur not going to hear good news, you have to dremel ur taillight apart and then reseal it, i know one of the guys on here did it and it is prone to leaking.

just tint them or nightshade them, whatever you prefer...

WOW! Speaking from experience DON'T DO IT!!! Sealing them back up is a major PITA!! Plus it looks like hell, cuz the cirlces stand out even more. Here is a pic when I had mine done.



Oh and I sealed them up pretty good, so I thought, and they still took in water! Don't do it, its not worth the time.

Well thats enough news to convince me not to do them, so I think I'll go for the film. Thanx for helping me save a bunch of money and time by switching to i-club.
