trying to get lens off grrr...

Ok last light I tore apart I broke every darn clip, but it leaked like no other.

But I've put in oven and whatever they use sticks. Trying to get the amber lens piece out to match the drivers side... Which doesn't leak grrr

I've done a few sets of black painted stockers, i've always had good luck with 210 degrees F at 20 minutes.

Did you take all of the screws out? Just checking would be my first area.if they all are then work one area loose and then work from there. Good luck!

No screws that hold the lense in place, just that sticky grey gunk. Naturally remove bulbs and the cups that hold the bulbs in place first. Preheat oven to 210 F and 20 minutes later pull it out and start pulling on the lense starting on a corner. Be careful to not get any of that grey crap on the lense as you pull it off though.

Your finger tips will not like you afterwards but hey, you want them off right?

Ok sorry for the confusion... dislike using my phone and I was rushed for time :P I'll have to try that I did 200 for maybe 5 minutes.

thanks again, just don't want to bust all the clips off then resealing should be fun, maybe I'll heat it again and slap it back together. That grey stuff is complete hell to work with.

hold on hold on hold on...

I just want to make sure you realize something and I am reading this right

You have a set of stockers on one side that comes with the chrome turn signals...

and on the other side a set that comes with the orange turn signals

Just in case you didn't know, the one with the chrome corner has a slightly tinted lens, and the orange turn signal one has a normal clear lens.


Also when I was using mine I used 235 for 5-7 min or something like that. They should be ok for up to 300*
