Default Light Removal...

Hey, Folks,

Anyone know of any on-line How-To's showing how to remove all the lights from my C5? I need to get access to everything - side markers, front drivinglights\repeaters (and the Euro added lights as I'm in the UK, but I guess I've gotta figure that one out for myself!) and the third high brake light.

I'm wanting to tint these lenses, as the rest of my car (paint, wheels and windows) is black too - once I've completed it, I'll post pix!

Cheers!

rear side markers and 3rd brake light can be accessed by removing the tails and sticking your hands thru the holes.

front markers can be removed by raising the headlamp doors and removing the black bezels and unhooking from inside.

of course, you can count on others to chime in with more techniques.

Thanks, JDM!

I've also got some C5R headlights coming soon, so I'll probably just tint the side markers at the front whilst I'm installing those!
