    Has anyone popped the tail lamp lens apart to paint the chrome ring around the turn indicator?

    I remember reading that the chrome ring can just be removed rather than painted. I do not know if that applies to all versions of the tail lights.

    First Gens have to be cut apart, not for the timid. I did mine following a DIY from another forum that I'll post up later today. Oh and pics of my results.
