Tail Lights Questions

[Alphamacaroon]

I can say without a doubt that the most difficult and excruciating part of my build yet has been getting the damn retaining rings seated into the tail light bezels... It took two hours for me to get two of them done.

Does anybody have a trick to getting it seated in there? I'm using some pliers with a paint stick like they recommend, but it's super awkward to hold it and squeeze it without popping the ring out.

Another question:

How are people generally wiring their tail lights? The manual seems to be missing this entirely...

I'm leaning towards:

- Brakes = high intensity on top lights
- Turn signal = high intensity on bottom lights
- Parking Lights = low intensity on both top and bottom lights

Any other suggestions on more effective setups?

One last question:

Has anyone come up with a clever way to make the tail lights removable if they need to be replaced in the future? Seems like it will be pretty well impossible to access them once the rear aluminum is put in. The only thing I can think of is to cut some access hatches in the aluminum.
