How hard is it to remove the 4 tail lights? And can you take the tail lights out WITH the chrome bezel still intact. I just got the lens tint and I'm sure I'd break the bezel's if I tried to get them off. I think I'd have a better shot at not breaking anything if I could just remove the tail lights, then take the bezel's off so I can see what I'm doing and apply the tint with them off. I may be easier that way, I'm not really sure.

If its just a few bolts, and a few electrical connectors I think I'll do it this way.

Is there a guide, a video or anything like that, that shows how to remove them?

Or should I just go slow with removing the bezels, and apply the tint with the lights still on the car?

Thanks in advance!

No, I was hoping that I didn't have to take the bezel's off to get the tail lights off. But now that I see that's how you have to do it, I guess I'll just take the bezel's off then put the tint on that way.

Thanks

If you are going to be installing our HeadlightArmor smoked taillight kit, it was designed to be installed with the bezels in place. Removing the bezels would likely make them harder to install. If you have something else, I would ask how they were intended to be put on.
