Opening Up Taillights : HELP
Sunday, February 12, 2006 10:13 AM
I searched but couldn't find an answer.

Basically I have a set of cf tails for a 95 Cavalier. They leaked, condensed and after a few warm days in the summer they dried out and left a fog/haze on the inside of the lens. Very noticeable.

My question is this, are they able to come apart? If so is there a how-to on that process? How warm the oven should be? How long in the oven? What do i place the light on when its in the oven.


Thanks guys, hopefully someone can help.

a couple have done this to euros.. i dont remember who exactly but i can tell u what i did for my clear corners.. i baked them at 250 for 10min.. i did one at 350 for 5 min and warped the @!#$ outta it so the second one i backed it down to a safer temp. so 250(maybe 300) degree for 5-10min should easily do the trick.. just make sure u look at them good to make sure what u need to do to pry/pull the casing apart before u bake.. like planning it out.. get ahold of Viperxxxxx(some # dont remember lmao) he took apart a set of euros and painted the housing the same black as his car..

Thanks for the info man. I just tried and ended up cracking the lense. Oh well, they were getting tossed out anyways.

well just fyi i had the same thing happen. and i ended up just to see what would happen left them in there longer, and they came apart ALOT easyer... so i gotta look into a set of cheap altezzas and retry it. just dont set the temp to high, and let them sit for about 15 to 20 atleast.
