I'm wondering if the anyone has opened up their 96-00 hatchback tail lights before. The reason is water got into mine and the reflective paint has chipped off and is scattered everywhere. It's very hard to clean them out. I'm wondering if I have to bake them like I would have to with the headlights or can I just pry them open? Thanks

 

You can pry, but its a very tedious project. Baking them is the quick and easy way of doing it. Just keep an Eye on them.
