There should be an article for that on the au falcon site....or maybe that's headlights. If they're sealed, it'll prob be the same process.

Just spray them from the outside and then go over with a can of clear coat. Done.

is the setup the same as the au3? if so they undo from inside the boot and just pull out once wires are disconected, you may need to pull back some of the carpet in the boot but from memory only 3 or 4 nuts to undo and your away.

Nah he means actually opening up the light assembly itself. Getting it off the car like you said is easy !

You cant. They are a sealed unit. The tabs are actually melted on to seal it.
You have to tint the outside.
