wasn't this covered yesterday? lol. same stuff as the headlights, clear bathroom silocone. someone mentioned on the corners, black rtv works well, but can be a pain to work with. If you go too big of a bead of silocone in the groove, it can bleed over and into the part of the lense that you can see. 205 was much too hot for me an 06 corners...my driverside corner is a little bowed even though it was my 4th set of baked corners. lol......195 is perfect for about 8 minutes, then I pull em out the oven and see how elastic the glue is. if still really stiff, another 3 mins or so. keep on goin til you can pry one side out...you'll hear and feel a nice distinct skreeeech sound as it comes. I don't recall which part of the lense is easiest to pop out first. I use a small flat head screw driver in one bare hand, and an oven mit holding the lense in the other. Usually one side comes off first, then you'll need a couple more minutes to release the rest of the glue. I like to remove ALL glue from both halves before turning the oven off. May have to throw it in to continue to remove it all. One corner at a time, watch oven like a hawk. '06 corners lenses don't like to be 'bent' back into shape after they're bowed....something about the differing heating qualities of the reflector and the smooth thin plastic.
yeah...using your imagination and masking...it's a PAIN to get perfect. Mine are perfect. YAY! Guess who gave SVT01RANGER the idea....hmmm.... hehehe.

I tried laying down masking tape then xacto knifing my lines....turned out horrible. Good thing I had plenty of amber corners to play with. Headed over to the autobody supply store and got the thin thin masking tape. That's one piece wrapped around.
If you mess-up on the 'base' that has the chrome, the amber corners and 06+ corners all have the same backing piece. One of my corner backs on the truck are from an amber corner.
And yeah, niteshaded. Looks like *** ontop of all black IMO. But looks kickass ontop of black and chrome 'indent'.

Alright. So the Adhesion promoter as well as use krylon fusion??
And yeah the ones i was gonna use were gonna be aftermarket 06+ made by either TYC or DEPO i can prolly get em for less than 60 cause thats what my 06+ tails cost me.
Also would i be able to use a heat gun to separate the lens??
