Reapper Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 I just got some spare tail lights from Redfox (thanx agian). I am wanting to turn them in to clears. Anybody have any ideas? If not I'll try and figure it out on my own. I'll be making a page if I can get it to work. Wish me luck. Laterz, William Grimmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reapper Posted May 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 Short Update: I've gotten some of it cut apart. actually only about 3 edges out of 8. Kinda slow going. Trying to find the best way to take the lense apart at the seams. Not easy with the damn curves. The best way I have found to cut the semi stright sides is to cut thru in one area a large enough hole so a hack saw blade can fit in. Then just run down the seam with the hack saw blade. If anyone has any ideas of how I can get the top and bottom sides cut at the seam it would help a lot. Also the heat gun idea to release the glue isn't working just making the plastic really soft, and in a couple places tryed to burn it. Thats about the only heating tool I have which sucks. I think if I had a hot wire or a soidering iron with blade it would work better. So any more ideas would be great. Thanx for the help so far.
