i was actually serious. i know people do that for the headlights so i figured the taillights are the same. and all that black goo is pain in the arse.

Just to answer your earlier question about the black gew around your taillights, that is very important, unless you want to turn your trunk in to a portable swimming pool. Thats what keeps the water from running in. So make sure that you have a good seal all the way around your lamps when you put them back in.
