Default Nightshade and taking lights out

OK, well i got nightshade to tint my head and tail lights because the vinyl from autobadges is bubbling and i can controll the darkness better with the spray. And i was wondering how you take otu the headlights and tailights. It would be easier to spray if they were out.

Removing the headlights are pretty easy.
Lift the hood and pull up the two pins that hold the headlight down.When removed, you can just un-clip the two wire harnesses to go to the bulbs.
The taillights are probably similar, but I don't know, I have never removed them.

Not sure, but it shouldn't be to hard at all.
Lift the trunk and check it out, you'll probably need some sort of socket and a screwdriver.

+1 on taking out the headlights. As for the taillights, all you have to dois remove the interior carpeting that is against the taillights from the inside. You should see 4 or 5 bolts that you will need a socket wrench for, just unscrew those, pull the taillight out,and twist the bulb housings going into the taillights toremove from the taillight casing.Its very easy.
