[urq] Replacing rear lights with darkened units

[Quattrodude]

It comes off pretty easy, you can replace it, or you can re-use it
too...Prob better to replace it you don't want water leaking into the
truck..Guess it also depends on where you live, Oregon of course...never has
any rain!

I found too that if you just keep gently pushing it does come off fairly
clean...dont force it just slow pushing it will come off (warmer the better)

Cheers, hope that helps..

I started the process this weekend and have discovered that my existing rear
stock lighting units are cemented to the bodywork with a black rubberized
material.  Has anyone who has done this swap found the same thing as I
cannot say that I had noticed this before on my car let alone anyone else's?

I am afraid that the process of removal may break the plastic or damage the
bodywork?

When you installed you new lights, did you replace the sealant and if so,
with what?  RTV?  Silicone?
