krisso_pl Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I have burned my passenger side headlight trying to open it in the oven [sHOCK][/sHOCK] The inside of the lamp can be fixed but glass turned white in two places and is definitely dead. Anybody have one spare lamp? Or maybe just the glass? It was >97' HEEEELPP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra786 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 facelift? Doesn't make a difference, a lense is a lense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisso_pl Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 Doesn't make a difference, a lense is a lense. Mate, im not looking for a lense - I have melted the plastic glass part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrenn Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Since you're in Poland, won't you be wanting a LHD headlamp? The UK/Jap ones are different so you might not find one easily on this board... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Did you follow the guide on here? I have tried to warn people about the guide as the temp mentioned is far too high. 100 degrees is absolutely plenty. I personally go with 80 degrees for around 10 mins.

krisso_pl Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 yea,I did mate but somehow it wasnt enough to melt that silicone sealant. It started to melt after 14 min with 100 C but not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Sounds like it isn't the original sealant then. Some people recommend silicone, I wouldn't touch the stuff with a barge pole as you are in for trouble should you need to crack them open again.
