Can the tails be cleared like to do it for the front?
Putting them in the oven and heating the seal up and pulling them apart etc?

Sorry for the confusion. They can be done for 00+ but not for the 93 in question.

The fact is that my tail lights peeling from the inside, and even if I would glue it with black film, red will not shine in red, and turns will not be orange. Find a color film, that's the way it is.
My car is white, black tails not look good

We should probably break this off since it has nothing to do with 00+ tails. :dontknow:


Does not look bad at all IMHO:
