Any confirmation for people baking the tails open?
I found reference to one guy that needed 275°F for the headlights.

I'm on the verge of saying that the tails can't be opened by baking. I tried 275° for 10 minutes, as I found reference to for the headlights, and it responds no differently than when it's at room temp.Comment

There's got to be a way, AAC had to have done it some how.Comment

Oh, there's always a way! I am just almost ready to say that baking is not it.
These may be like the DRL/fogs and require slicing.Comment

Guys the tail lights dont bake in the oven. Sorry I have been off the site with work and the inlaws. The lights (lense) gets cut off with a band saw! Sorry I didn't see this sooner. Then the light gets glued back together. It is actually easier than doing the headlights! Call my cell 630-363-5788 and i can walk you through it. It was scary as heck when they busted out the band saw, I was like ohhh stufff. It took 30 seconds and it was done.2018 ZL1 A10 Convertible, Kooks Longtube Headers (to be installed 8Jan) Full Kooks exhaust from Kooks R&D in Mooresville, NC, ZL1 painted GFX, My ShowStopper Custom Engine Cover Kit and painted CAI.

Oh, man. Slicing open more of these will not be fun.
Lucky this is a test light.

Bah! Looks like we'll need a whole new housing to pull this off right. :damnit:
Because of the internal geometry of the housing, it will need a new outside reflector to bring the light out all the way to the edges. Unfortunately, I don't think that any reflector added could bring the light out properly due to a step in the housing.
Hopefully, I can figure something out.Comment
