So did you have to take the light units to bits? I\'ve read before that you have to use a heat gun to do it. I stopped reading at that point as I know I\'d mess it up.

THAT WAS ONCE, 5 YEARS AGO!! OK, so it might have been the dash, but that\'s not the point, and it wasn\'t my fault. *sulk*

@ dandan : Not yet man... Only took pics with the crappy camera phone... Will take better 1\'s with my big camera..

@GeckoGareth : Yea everybit had to be taken apart... Dead handy tho... Ur better off usin a heat gun but i used a hair dryer... Just to soften the silocone up and then prise them apart very gently... I used a screw driver and blade to cut the bits that werent that warm... But be careful them ur pulling them apart... They might snap... Mine did in 2 spots so i had to use even more silicone when closing them back up!!

And cheers lads :Thumbs-up

D!WTF ....to split the casing of the rear lights offf, you go to first melt the glue....you do that by putting them in the oven! Well thats what I did with the headlights on the integra.....then you can paint the housings inside to what ever finish / coulour you want. Then just glue it all back togethher!
