Thats correct, not a fan of the 06+ housing to be honest.
I used a set of 07 g35 sedan taillights for this retro, quite simple and straight forward.

True or false?
Do you have to physically cut open the taillight with a dremel or does it just need to be baked liked our headlights do?

i sealed my headlights with Silicone RTV from work, called Shinitsu, we use it to externally seal compartments so that moisture doesnt get into sensitive equipment cabinets or inside circuit breaker internals so obviously an over kill like that worked magic lol
im pretty sure that will do the job but like i posted already i want to see what the process is since hes cutting them open

I used "Amazing Goop" glue, can find them at most hardware stores.
I used it twice before on my previous car and sealed it with no leaks whatsoever.
I might start my second one today, its very simple and took me less than 3 hours on the first one (also had 5 of my friends over playing PS3 lol). Second one i doubt it'll take me over an hour worth of straight work
I'll take some pictures and maybe do a write up

Awesome! I'll look forward to a write up. I'm not too extremely talented when it comes to wiring and it'll be my first attempt at a retrofit too. I've always wanted the dual rings in the tails and if it's pretty simple, then it looks like I'll have to look for a set of Sedan tails off of a wrecked Sedan somewhere around here.Originally Posted by SAMzG35

Do you know if it'll be an issue with the 06-07 tails? I only ask because you already know that the housing is recessed.

Any other cool stories ?
I have one! I'll get right to the point...
In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys, they were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-air"
I whistled for a cab and when it came near the
License plate said "fresh" and had a dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought nah, forget it, yo homes to Bel-air!
I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabby "Yo, homes smell you later!"
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-air
