Blacked out high mount stop light
Looking at my truck from behind, that HMSL sticks out like a sore thumb. I'd like to paint it to match my HD/Raptor tails. I do NOT want to smoke the lens, I only want to paint the reflector inside the housing. I've removed the bulbs for the cargo lights, so that part is a moot pointe. I already have a higher end LED bulb in the stop position, and want to leave the lens completely alone. Looking at the housing, it appears to be a sealed unit. Anyone have an idea how to get it apart so I can get to the reflector? Bake it like you would a headlight/taillight bucket?

You can try to bake it, others have used a flatblade screwdriver to seperate them! Id be afraid the screwdriver would break the cheap plastic lens.

LOL. Ya, I had to stop myself from trying the screwdriver thing.
