Post by: SchulzeA on July 06, 2012, 12:50:49 PM: I have been working on the taillights also but I'm having some difficulty getting the correct outer shape. So, I took my taillight trim pieces to our laser track operator at work. I will post the outer dimensions and reference points when and if it works out as planned.

Post by: My}l{uK on August 06, 2012, 10:12:02 PM: Thank you all for your responses, 6/16â€¦. Itâ€™s really embarrassing, well, being an immigrant in the US, the English Language is not the only challenge, as you can see. Yes, this is 3/8.

Post by: SchulzeA on August 23, 2012, 05:54:53 AM: I don't think it's correct. Your measurement was 17.75" and I have 17.827" ::scratch

Title: Re: LP640 Taillight Measurements
Post by: 01Lambiero on August 23, 2012, 09:20:56 AM: You are both right. You have to heat the taillight lens at 350Âº for 36.5 minutes and then press fit as necessary when installing. Ouch!!! I forgot to use the oven mitts. ::help ::thumbup

Post by: SchulzeA on August 23, 2012, 11:22:15 AM: Jim, I thought you were supposed to heat the car body and freeze the tail light before installing... I'm really confused now
