Details on Opening A Corner Light?

I've searched, and found a couple of old posts about this but none have really anwsered it. I ve tried a heat gun, and oven method but none seem to loosen the silicone glue holding it together, and the housing starts to melt so i cant leave it in longer, its a plastic lense and housing clear corner.. any other ideas? or anybody accomplished this?, thanks

what if you were to boil it or would that warp the lens?

just take a knife and cut the damn glue.

Its not glue its a epoxy which i heard means it a part of the plastic after it cures.. so u cant cut it, its hard as rock...

once u get one side cut open u can kinda pull it apart
dont be skeerd its only $20 at the most

Well, it cracked when i tried to pull it apart.. so if anybody else has any ideas??

DREMEL is the best way.

^^^^agreed, that does seem like it would be the best method, get a dremel and a cutting disk, dremel multitools are a very good investment, they are so useful when it comes to almost anything!!

Anybody Done this Successfully?

Boil them. Thats the best way that i have heard of people doing it.

We JUST had a thread about this...

I've tried several different methods including Heat gun and Oven. I can say that the heat-gun method worked the best, but it's still very hard to seperate the lenses without cracking them. I finally got it perfect once, but when I re-attatched the lenses after painting the housings black, I used hot glue. Since it was so hot out in the summer, the lenses ended up flying off...

Anyways, if you're thinking about painting your housings black, check e-bay out, they've got some black-housing corners for sale on there... I figure that's what I'll do if I find some for a 90 hatch.


Oh yeah, also heard that boiling them will warp them.

CZ-R used the dremel method on his, cutting the housing away from the lense, from the backside, but I thought about doing that, and I'd rather pop the lenses off... I dunno..
