Use some rubbing alcohol, it shouldn't be too difficult.

just paint over the len n mask up around the len.the black trim. just sand it down alittle. but if u really want to take the len off put it in the oven for alittle (remeber to watch it) the len will warm up n u should b able to pull the len right off of the housing..then after u paint it or what ever u want to do with it then put some rubber bands over the len with some cardboard around it, so the rubber band doesn't stick or melt onto the len on the housin then do the same thing over except leave it to dry.

you dont need an oven. there should just be 2 phillips screws on the side of each one(if its an 88-89), then it just pulls out and you remove the plug. then you just mask off the black trim, wipe it with rubbing alcohol and spray.

duhh. he obviously wants to do it the "right" way and paint from the back to protect it from damage..

you could just do it the slacker way, so you just pull the corner off and paint from the outside.. just remember to use a clear coat..

i wouldnt call it the "slacker" way, mine are holding up just fine, then again I used a sick amount of clearcoat---I dont think my mom would appreciate corner lights in her oven.
