Taking apart the tail ligths Options

[zoik]

I saw some time ago one blog of a japanese guy that opened his tail ligths using boiling water. i tried without succes. Do you know if i can ue the oven to do this like some people taking out the lens of the projectors?
Any other solution?

I've done it on a number of other units including MR2's and Supra MK3's. I find about 100 deg C in an electric fan oven works fine, but be sure that the unit doesn't touch the shelves or sides. About 10 mins should be about right.



and here's what was inside....



before........



and after.......



The Gen 6's will be more difficult - more like the MR2. I found it helpful using half clothes pegs to act as levers reducing chance of damaging lens compared to using say screwdrivers. You will need to ease a bit a time, putting in the oven several times to warm it up again





Hope that helps
