Any Body Want A Set Of These?

[sam5709]

okay, well while working on my other car the other day, i parked my skyline outside in the rain, and the indicator under the two red lights filled with water,

luckily nothing shorted out or anything like that but i decided to take the tail lights out and have a squizzy at them (aswell as empty the water

10 mins later the tail lights were in the oven softening up the glue and soon after they were apart,

basically i think i can make my tail lights look very similar if not identical to the ones as pictured,

in the picture you can see the red lenses have been removed from the lights, i did that and underneath is clear lights, now if i get sum thing like even vht nightshade spray and spray the inside of the lights under neath it would look very similar to the ones pictured

a bit hard to explain but will report back and post pics in the next day or so

i will take some pics when i get home

um i think i put the oven on 200

they were in there for no more than 4-5 mins after the oven had time to heat up

will get back to everyone soon

guides are preheat to 200, turn OFF then leave for 5 minutes... you want ambient heat, straight heat from the element can melt plastics...

keep us posted

[jake33]

GUYS NO IT'S 80 DEGREES 200 WILL MELT THE PLASTIC

80 degrees and leave it on it's nice n gentle that way

[DRD-00F]

200 is right for headlights, i assume they use the same shit to seal the brake lights too...

do ovens even have an 80 degrees choice? thats a bit low...

how long does it take on 80 degrees?

[Mr Eps]

80 100 ish mark

it takes about 8 minutes to heat up

ALL you're trying to do is warm up the particles in the glue, this will make it go back to being tacky and maluable thus allowing the parts to become seperate

200 degrees is just stupid, you don't use a shotgun to change the TV chanel, same as you don't use 200degrees of heat to warm up sealant glue!

[DRD-00F]

i dont use an air rifle to change the tv channel wither... i use a remote...

all im saying is that 200 ambient heat for 5 minutes worked for me... but my lights dont fit in my oven with it being shut... forgot that...

so... what kind of gun do you change the channel with?

[Eug]

homer does! uses a gun to open beer too!

anyone with pics or have made progress with it?

[sam5709]

well yous can use 80, thats fine, i used 200 and nothing melted, came apart nicely

still havnt finished, im using some black sealant because when you put the light cover back on there a gap were the red lense used to be between the cover and the other section of the light,

i will have to take some pictures tomorrow morning all the pics i take the flash on my camera totally f**ks it up cos its dodgy

ill write up a proper diy thingy later aswell

so far im happy with the results

[Crazy_biatch]

hell yeah!! my number 0413715088, or pass me on his information cheers xoxo liz

[sam5709]

the camera i have access to is totally garbage, hence the tail lights look shit in the photos but look 100 times better in real life

[sam5709]

the flash on my camera keeps going of and making the reflectors in the tail lights shine in the photos

[sam5709]

some slightly better pics

[jake33]

cheers
