once upon a time... I saw a thread on here for breaking down the rear tail lights without killing them. Outside of heating them up in the oven, I would like any tips on being successful with the project.
I am polishing the lens on both sides, and filling/smoothing/painting the plastic housing gloss black. I would like to repaint behind the plastic where black once was before if flaked out/ washed out.
So... the search bar did not work... tbird gods, givith a link!
haha thanks guys
Why not use the oven it works great? Just opened up several sets of headlights quickly and easily like that.
The other option would be a heat gun...
Tailights should come apart fairly easily you cant really mess them up other than break the reflectors, but it's all held together by this putty and with a little force they should come apart.
you mean you have a set that didnt come apart on their own??? why cant I be so lucky? lol
I baked the ebay ones I had for my explorer once, didnt work half bad. I just figured something 23 years old would have some finesse to it
I've never seen a rear lens pop off, but have personally had my headlights fall off!
My rear lights just pulled apart when I did mine about 2 years ago.
Where can I get the little nuts that holds them together?
