As the title states has anyone been able to pull apart the tail lights, like separate them? I am wanting to go gloss back around the chrome part and am trying not to use niteshade. Rather paint the housing.

I haven't done it but be sure to post pics after you try it sounds cool!

 

[SlickWilly]

I sure will.

Cant be too hard. Just bake them as you would with headlights

That's what I am thinking. It would also help me because one of mine is leaking so I could seal that up.

My right one has condensation in it.

Tail lights cant take much heat in the oven like headlights can. Also many tail lenses are ultrasonic welded to the housing so the oven won't undo the weld. Most people have to cut them open.

This is a common issue with the 08-11 taillights. It mostly is because the gasket where the bulb goes in goes bad. But as stated they cannot be heated nearly as much as headlights can. My chrome stock set actually warped from sitting on a shelf during the summer in my parents barn.

You'd be better off just buying some SES taillights. It's likely you'll just end up ruining the lights when you attempt to disassemble them.

This is what I did. Yes they are pricey as are any oem dark chrome pieces. But well worth it for the look while maintaining that oem styling.

But I don't really want the dark chrome lights. I want the chrome to be gloss black, I might just get a set from the yard and experiment a little. Or just find dark chrome ones and call it done anyway.

they are gloss black.

anyone who calls the SES lights "black chrome" is an idiot.

So I guess everyone at Ford is idiots? That is what it is classified as in the Ford Parts catalog.

Ford can call it whatever they want. Painted plastic is not black chrome, lol.
