no you dont, they have double sided tape around the edges and you just stick the covers on over the stock tail lenses.

You could do that replacement, but why?!?!? Back to them same situation if you have to take them off. You can use the tape, but you're better off to silicon them on.

as far as where to get it, you can buy a can of nightshade, which is high quality stuff, off of ebay. my buddy with the 03 did that, and i'm gonna buy it sometime soon and let him do my car too! he just registered his car again on post ( have to like everyyear) and it passes inspection, so i guess the MP's here on post don't mind it lmao.gif
