You will notice there is a tiny slit across the top where the acrylic piece slides slightly into in order to get a perfect fit. The whole job took me about 15 minutes to do and I was going very slow.
Thanks for the info. I did the blackout strip on my chrome grille and I screwed it up the first time so I had to order a second strip. Hopefully I can get these right the first time.

Same here but this is a much easier mod. Good luck!

Just installed these, they just blackout the white part of the tail lights, not the entire taillight. Way cheaper then the GS blackouts!

The lights are there to improve your vision when trying to back up. Why would you defeat a safety feature?

I blacked out my tail lights on my C6 and almost got a ticket in Dalhart, Texas. Didn't know it's against the law in Texas to do that.

I must say, I really like that. I have a Long beach red and those blackouts will really fit the bill.
