Guess I won't be doing it this weekend... Failed to find the syringe with that flexible feeding tube or whatever. Went to Michael's, Home Depot, CVS, and Walgreens and only the last 2 had the syringes but no flexible tube thing. They're all 5 mins away so at least I didn't waste too much time. Guess I'll have to find it online.

How about just a straight pharmacy?

I went to every one of em around me, they had syringes but no tubes. I should've just taken the syringe while I was there, but I guess I was in an all or nothing kind of mood. I didn't notice that it's sealed until I kept digging through the thread, so that makes me feel better knowing it won't drip inside and whatnot. Might just have to get a little bottle top squirt thing I saw at the craft store, that might fit.

The left hand side tail light is more difficult to get at on the side that meets the tailgate than the right side is. Now I see what ya'll are saying. I assumed each tail light would be symmetrical, but that assumption is apparently wrong. Don't know why it would be like that, but I've never designed a tail light so who am I to talk haha.

The syringe alone is fine, messy but fine. Did mine, actually turned out nice. Used touch up paint brush for the three sides I could get to. Syringe on the tailgate side. Take the time to remove excess glue especially on the tailgate side you'll see as soon as you squeeze paint in if you missed any. Take your time I did two full coats with black touch up from dealer and a third to touch up spots that looked off.

And remember seal them with a bead of rtv black silicone after!

I had removed some glue beforehand, but apparently not all of it. Some I couldn't even see on the tailgate side on the left hand light, which is the one that is tighter and harder to get to than the right hand one. I tested it with a clean brush beforehand and it got by, by the paint wouldn't so there was a small line of glue all the way down it I guess. The paint got stuck halfway down so I had to stick a hook tool into the channel and break it up. Wasn't expecting it to snap like it did so I got paint all over me haha.

Despite these issues and all the time it has taken, it looks like it's going to be worth it. I've managed to get the paint everywhere that it needs to be, so it's looking good! I'll post pics when I'm done. Thanks for the input everyone!

Looks 100% better like that. Have the same FX4/Race Red setup...Going to do this to mine this week

Am i missing something..why are you sealing the lights? Sorry for the noob question

Helps keep the paint intact since it is exposed to the elements. So say a power washer won't flake the paint off, ask me how I know.

I picked up a small can of high gloss tremclad (the kind for all surfaces not just metal) already got the ugly chrome lights back in for now and once I have my wifes chores done I'll be attacking these black lights for sure! Got a small syringe and tube as well as small brushes. Shouldn't take too much work.
