How do i unglue rear lenses?

[maddogdaz666]

hi i have a set of clear rear lights and a set of normal standard rears, i want to unlue the bottom lenses out of both and swap them, to make somthin a bit different, i dont like full clear rears and i had these given so i thought why not ill give it a try.
Anybody know any tricks to soften the glue so the lenses will come free from the backs?
The bottom lenses on the clear lights are already loose and i can pull them out now, but the standards are being a bit of a pain. HELP!

your best of cutting them out i think, if u can swallow losing your standars rear lights

i want to make 2 sets by swappin the lenses, but if it comes to it, i know where there is a set in a nearby scrappy tho.

I think some people have put theres in the oven for a short amount of time, which just softens the glue up so you can prise the lense off

Nope thet didntvwork, the glue was solid and it melted the reflector lense that i want to keep too! haha, to the scrappy this week for a replacement!

lol to putting it in the oven! that wasnt to smart, You can prise them out with a screw drive but have to be careful otherwise it cracks, but no matter what it probs will crack, Get some super glue melting stuff and poor it over the crack and see if that works!

Clear rears with the top half tinted red. Looks the business:thumb:

wait a few years, fit the red reflectors for mot with double sided tape.. and remove the reflectors again... no damage, just need to glue the top half back lol

no that'll look pants. red top and clear bottom will look good i reckon. and a bit different too.
