Thank you Matt. I love my truck and plan on doing more down the road.

Heres the video as promised.

I also have some led amber bulb for the headlights and some new headlight bulbs from Recon I plan on installing when I finally decide what to do as far as my headlights go.

It took me some time to take them apart. It was a pain because I had to be extra careful so wouldn't break them as opposed to opening headlights which is much easier imo. And I used a heat gun rather then baking them.

Putting them back together was way easier though you have to go around the inside and the edge with clear silicone.

I already did the same with my 3rd brake light and I just took it to my painter this friday so I'll post up pic's when I get her back.

Heres a quick crappy video I made -

Oh and btw once you take everything apart the leds are removable as you'll see in the video.

Hey,
The lens for me was no big deal to take apart but after that I can't seem to get any of the Chrome insert inner parts to come off. Don't want to pry to hard as I'm afraid I'm going to crack it. Is there any tabs or some kind of trick to getting it off
