Tail Light Question w/pic
« on: December 02, 2009, 03:57:38 PM »
I would like to separate the 2 tail light pieces for chrome but am having problems. I can not get the large metal plate to separate from the plastic reflector. Anyone ever do this without breaking anything? How? Thanks...

I think you'll have to straighten out the flange on the bulb socket to free the reflector from the backing plate, but then how do you reassemble? JBweld?

Were you able to get that from the dealer still?
