Well, i'll still give you the credit for the inspiration if it works out :) 
 I'm just gonna try it on an old set i have lying around, i have a feeling 
i'm going to have trouble getting those plastic welds apart no matter how i 
do it.  As i do it i'll make sure to document it, so if it actually does 
work, we can get something up on scirocco.org.

Owen, I was merely speaking of sanding down the ridges of the outside of 
the
taillight lenses, giving the overall face of the lens a totally smooth, 
polished
finish.  No disassembly of the lens would be necessary.
