Removing the tail lights is pretty simple:
Photo DIY: Removing W203 Tail Lights The third brake light it a little tricky though. You dont need to sand down your lights, just give them a rinse with some water and wipe them down. I didnt put any clear coat on my lights either. Everything seems to be fine.

if you want like a mirror finish to them you should wet sand in between clear coats with like 2k grit...let dry and next coat, then final coat wet sand till they're hazy but smooth to the touch, then apply polish and buff them out and they will look great...
