can the lenses be removed from the light assembly..
i need to use that lens paint on the inside of the rear tail light lenses as there faded to allmost white,,
lights are still in great condition just faded..

how can i get the lenses removed

 

I've read that 200* in the oven will soften up the glue, then you can slowly and carefully start removing the lens. Never done it myself. Do a search for more.

Now that being said, I've restored several sets of tails and other plastic lights without removing the lens. I've found that if you take a good strong soapy water or simple green solution, fill the housing about a quarter full, slosh it around a bit and let it soak. Keep it cool so it does NOT dry. Give it about an hour, then repeat the process. Shake...rinse...shake rinse...until you feel they're pretty clean and you've got no more soap or cleaner in there. That'll do a pretty good job of cleaning out dirt, dust, bugs, gunk, etc. etc. Then do your standard sand/buff/polish to the outside of the lens like normal. I've used this method on some pretty ratty looking lights. Even though you can't FULLY clean and restore the inside this way, it'll still leave you with a 9 out of 10 quality resto.

 

I have seen headlights put in a microwave then opened up....

my problem isnt cleaning the lenses ,,the lenses have faded in colour to near white in the orange part,,i have propper lens paint and its translucent orange.
this gets put on from the inside...

then the lenses put bacl on.

 

the fix it link

 

Or a heat gun will l also work.

 

I saw on youtube,,no heat needed,, 4 plastic plugs come out and a few clips,, they fall apart and are simple to make new again.
