Putting back together is easy. Just some mastic in the groove of the back section and put the lens in place. Squeeze together and heat the tabs up so you can bend them back into place. Because it looked messy on the edge of the lens, I put black insulation tape over the join and up to where the clear plastic bends round (it's all hidden by bodywork anyway). Bit more heat shrunk the tape and made the adhesive stickier and hopefully that will be an extra barrier to keep the moisture out if I missed with the mastic anywhere.

No, warm the lights up then its easier to take the lenses off..
Depends what type of rear light. Pointless masking standard phase 2s. If you had chrome lexus style then you may be able to do them. Depends how they are constructed I suppose.
