Message	Followed this thread [ http://www.300zxclub.com/showthread.php?t=74231 ] Get one of those light panels at hardware store, vinyl strip at autozone, and plastic epoxy. I used oven to bake my lights at 260. Can't leave it in for too long because it'll start to melt. Every 3 minutes or so take it out and carefully pry on the edges to loosen it up a bit. If glue is getting hard put it back in for couple of more minutes and repeat. Use yellow insert as template to make new clear insert. I used dremel to make the cut and grinder to finalize its shape. Other than that its pretty straight forward. Once you are ready to put back together heat up in oven to soften glue and slowly push them in together. Surface on my tails were rough so i used rotary buffer to make it like new.
