    taking apart rear tail lights

    i dont mean removing them ..i mean opening and removing the lens from the housing

    sticking them in the oven wont work here
    from research, the only possible way to do so is taking a dremel to them; kinda scary especially since i dont wanna ruin the set (thanks again for the set Lauren )

    is there any other method i have overlooked?..any/all help is appreciated

    I haven't really taken a look at the rear's
    but why can't these be tossed in the oven?
    or with a heat gun or something?

    I'm thinking if you can't heat it to split it open
    a dremel would really be the cleanest way.
    It's a pretty accurate tool.
