I'm cleaning my parking lights up but it's difficult to get all the crap out with the clear plastic in. THe problem is the clear plastec is melted onto the black backing of the light. Has anyone successfully removed the clear lense and reattached it? I'm not wanting to render them completley useless.

Thank

 

Well kind of. It is one of those mods that a few people do. I have done it. It basically entails cutting the plastic lens off just behind the lens and then cleaning it and replacing it with a piece of clear 1/8"-1/4" plexiglass. Just Epoxy or JB weld it on and paint the trim. Looks MUCH better than stock

 

I dont understand how it would look much better than stock,basically you are just cleaning it so it looks new again aren't you?

 

 

No, the stock parking lights have two plastic pieces that are molded together. The first (inner) directs th light down toward the road and is molded like a basket ball feels. The outer piece is molded straight down. When you take those pieces off and replace it with one piece of plexi glass it looks like the newer cars lights, like a flashlight.

Go out and look on you Camaro and you will know what I am talking about.

 

Ok i know what your talking about I just misunderstodd what you were replacing..I thought u were talking about the clear cover that is covering the light being repaced by fiberglass..So now that I know what your talking about..Ive seen a few threads refering to it but have yet to see an up close pic...You got any??

 

I will try to post in the next day or two with pictures.

 

I believe I was the first to do this. It was 2000, the same time I installed a parking lamp DRL circuit.

 

That looks good, except Im not sure if I like being able to see the amber colored bulb, hopefully we can get some straight on pics...

 

think my sport coupe would look good that way? i've been thinking about doing something with the running lights on my car. maybe running a modded z28 light or something. these things are SO amber!

 

I just picked up new ones off eBay. Should have done it a long time ago!

 

Oh, is it too much to ask if one of you who have done the mod can take a pic of it with the lights on?

 

Here's a pic that Willie posted a while back.

 

I just got a set off of ebay, I like the stock look to the lights.
