Pull apart taillights?

I not shure if this is in the right forum but here goes... Do you think it would be that hard to pull off the outer lens of euro tail lights to tint the inner chrome and lenses? here is a pic of the taillights...



any thoughts, suggestions, or if you have done this and have pointers all info and advice is appriciated, THANKS!

it's hard to do. search, though, because i'm pretty sure i've seen someone paint them white on the inside (as opposed to the ugly chrome).

I've looked myself because I was thinking the same thing, but only found a couple of people who cracked the lens while trying to pull them apart. The only other option I've run across is tinting. Let me know if you find anything.

pop them in the over for a few minutes, then use a heat gun. And pry like a ****. But don't leave them in the oven for too long, they may melt. I have no idea how to do it. This is the way I'd prob screw it up.
