You can have a paint shop spray them or do it yourself with VHT Nite-Shades.

thanks for the feedback i'll probably have a shop do it.

a shop will give you the best results and not that expensive. I paid under 400 for my taillights and door handles, and that included them removing and reinstalling everything.

I had the same problem with mine. The use of the word "forward" made me think of toward the front of the car. The lights actually slide rear-ward. If you're standing behind the car, pull them backward. If you're standing on the side of the car, push away from you. Either way, they come out toward the rear of the car. You have to have both 10mm bolts removed and the 5/16 nut removed before they'll budge.
