I am putting in a pair of the flush mounted tail lights. I am getting ready to sand them to the contour of the panel. Anything I should know that might bite me later. What grit sand paper is the max I should use for forming. So I dont scratch the crap out of them. What do you guys use to seal around the lense and the sheet metal.
Thanks

Creep,,all I did,when I recessed the tail lights into a Lincoln Zephyr s/d,was make a template of the base of the tail light,about 3-4mm bigger,,and recess it the amount you want,and just keep checking the opening size as you do your finishing,,so it still fits..Understand where I'm coming from?? Easier to do it than say it.. Will have to find the pix later.. gotta go and earn a dollar right now..
