Thickness of rear light plastic?

Post by mr-charisma »

Hi, as the title suggests, I am wanting to know how thick the plastic cover of the rear lights is ... has anyone baked the rear lights before to take them off or knows roughly how thick it is?

When you do do it take your time to seperate cause i tried to bake em to tint the inners and snapped it staight down the middle 8O and dont forget about em in the oven i did when i done the other light and it melted :roll: so overall it was a complete failure, ohwell they were pretty rooted neway, im gonna get those decals like sammi's easier.
