R34 Tail Light Respray Help?

[kyle345]

Im on to sanding down the tail lights

Does anyone know how to get the cover off?

The only way i can see of doing it is taking out the whole housing.

Just wondering if theres an easier way

If they're anything like my 33, there are screws holding them on which you can only get to by removing the whole light from the car.

Then when you put them back in, you have to seal all around them very well or you will get water leaking into the boot.

None of this is much fun. Good luck!

Oh man... so ive actually got to reseal the housing? Im not talking about taking the lenses out just the painted cover that sits over the lights

(My) Cover is screwed onto the Light from behind, over / around the lense. The whole light needs to come out of the car, then remove the cover.

Paint, Fit cover, refit the whole light into car with plenty of thorough sealing around between the light and the car.

Mine has a rubber gasket around it? Is that what your talking about because i dont think you need to use sealant

Rubber Gasket + sealant on that + sealant around the light inside the boot = No Leakage.

If you don't smother it in sealant, you will regret it. Better to be safe than something else...
