just put them in the oven on about 250 for about 5 minutes. then slowly try prying them apart, then put them back in for another 2-3 min. then pull them apart all the way. you have to be very very careful and don't use too much force. i cracked my inner driver side tail light on my 97 because i was trying to be the hulk pulling it apart. and now i have a big crack running diagonally across the whole tail light.

then tape off the reflector very good and whatever else you don't want painted. then spray very light coats of BBQ grill black paint. i put about 4-5 coats on my headlights, and about 2-3 on my turn signals in my tail lights.

yea search

dont put it in the oven, it burnt a hole on mine and i had to fix it maybe i because i did something wrong. a heat gun makes the work much easier it costs about $30 from homedepot. for the paint i used dupli color engine spray from autozone around $5.
