heckler Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Ok, i just aquired a pair of UK rear light clusters - how the hell do you get them apart? (so I can change the indicator lense) si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 did you buy the oneson ebay? how much did they go for in the end? they are only £46+vat each from toyota. i think you heat them up in oven and when the sealant goes tacky prise the two halves apart.

heckler Posted January 14, 2004 Author Share Posted January 14, 2004 I got em for £95 inc. bulbs and wireing looms.... si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 apparently the same process as with the front lights, stick them in the oven the prise them apart. A search should bring up the details, I think Ibrar has done it along with a few other people. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Brian Duff has done this, but beware. He trashed a set by leaving them in the oven too long. May be worth a PM to him to get the right temperature and time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted January 14, 2004 Author Share Posted January 14, 2004 I think judging by matts response, they were too mush - oh well... si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 I've got a set of UK rear lights that could be up for grabs. I'd be over the moon if I got anywhere near that! - Sorry, I don't mean it disrespectfully. When I did my headlights, I was concerned about melting things, (and my wife wouldn't let me use the oven!), so I put the lights in a fairly large box, and stuck a heat gun in one side. That way it was easy to check how things were progressing. - Each one took about 15 minutes, and nothing melted... Except my finger tips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albundy68 Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 oxygene, you need 2 sets of UK pre facelift and 2 sets of jap pre facelift, some glue, coloured bulbs and at least 20 quid to get your wife/GF out of the house for a couple of hours while you ruin her oven and make the house smell like a glue factory!!! (you need the UKs coz the 2 middle lenses are a wee bit bigger than the outside ones), so 4 UK or 4 jap wont do. Thats why you cant go facelift clear, which would look the dogs, coz theres no UK facelifts, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
