Baking Open Rear Tail Lights?

Is it really worth that much trouble........I mean REALLY ??

The end result likely will be a safety hazard and illegal and just a bad ideal in general.
And pretty much the same thing can be done from the outside........if you insist.

 

Hmm. Wondering if you could bake open the OEM tail lights too. I'm not a big fan of all that chrome paint and would be cool if I could easily black those parts out.

 

Something to consider... unlike the headlight assembly, the tail lights contain some possibly heat sensitive components (LEDs, circuit board) within.

Hmm.... Really? What's illegal or a safety hazard about opening and closing the taillights? OP didn't even say why they wanted to open them. Maybe there's some debris in the light.. ?

There are several companies in Japan that specialize in the modifications of Back Taillights.

Beverly Auto is one of the leaders that can custom Headlights/Taillights
Unfortunately you got to pay to play!

Let us know if you decide to explore that concept.
Good Luck!

 

Tail lights are sonically welded. They don't bake off. You'd literally have to cut the lens off with a Dremel and then use a heavy plastic adhesive to reassemble.

Maybe for some taillights but the Valenti taillights can be easily opened. There's a member here who modify them to retrofit rear fog lights to make them within code for use in Europe and re-sell them as such.

 

These look great, but probably more than you want to spend:
