Thanks ASF, if you can get a set of those nylon pry tools from your local auto or hardware shop, it'll make popping those bezels off a breeze!

Yes, Autozone, Pep Boys or O'reilys usually have a Sylvania Bulb chart and just look up the replacement bulb number.

No problem, glad you could use the info. A set of black bezels would go great with your car. Just pop yours off, Rustoleum Primer them, then your choice of Rustoleum Black and you're good to go! Then some black rims, debadge for some matte black CAMARO lettering & then……..I better stop now or I'll have you dropping some bucks!

I painted my bezels satin black as I did on my previous Gen5. I have tints to put on now but weather got cold on me. Soon as it warms up I'll pull the bezels again and apply the tints.
BTW if anyone is looking for a set of RS tail lights I have 2 sets but I'm keeping the ones not tinted but I have set that has tint on them that can be easily removed or left on. PM with a reasonable offer and it'll be considered.

I suggest it be removed. Sometimes and more often than not you may need to push a little on the top tabs to release them. I know for me it seems once the top tabs have been freed the rest comes easy. Once you get those to give you some workable space between the bezel and lens, you can use the trim tool to work gently and push the bezel outward.

digdeep0169 · 12-20-2013, 11:35 AM

great suggestion, shouldn't take but 30 seconds extra to pop off those 3 bumps on each side. I've gone the blackout route as well. need to rid of the chrome bezels now.

SSGUNNER · 12-21-2013, 08:20 PM

Crap, I broke one of these tabs. The middle one. The other 2 are in place. Would I have any rattling issues?

Doubt you'd hear any rattles and being that it's only one tab, probably won't have any issue either as the removable tops have an edge that goes along the top edge of the bezels.
