OK. Got crackin on my tail lenses. Opened em up and did a lil dremel work. Imma start a separate thread on these later. Getting all my pics and info together for that. Here's where I am so far..
used a blade to slice thru the glue. Then a small flathead to gently pry em open..
Separated the lenses and Layed the boards inside the housing to mark where I needed to cut. There;s a center divider and a end divider that has to be notched out. The board sits flush in the cutout notch. I just used my dremel to shave a little off at a time until the boards sat where I wanted em. I wanted em to touch the inside of the lenses. This aids in securing the boards as well...
Used some silicone to seal the lens and housing together. Looks messy but I can use my blade to clean em up. Im going to leave it tho
Now I'll let it dry for a couple days and then mount em. Im running the wiring to the rear. I know what wires need to be spliced and I could just tap into those out back. But I decided to leave all the factory wiring intact(just in case I have a prob) Then I can just pop the bulb back in and old housing and power em up right quick. Imma try to get on the suspension when I get up. Raining pretty hard right now :x
Here's a vid series Im doin on the install. There's clickable links on top of the vid to take you back to day 1 of the install and up to the finished setup..
