Probably something like this...

I wouldn't recomend cutting the plastic though. Try putting it in the oven for a while to break the glue loose.

Idk why you would want to paint the inside of the taillight though... probably wouldn't make much of a difference because the plastic is red.. so it should output like a dark red if you paint the inside black..?

Yes I believe so. Once the heat from the oven loosens up the glue you should he able to pry it off. Than reglue it when your done and let it sit for a while before installing back in.
