Hey guys...
I was wondering if theres a write up, or someone that knows how to pull apart the 95/96 tail lights... The 97-99's are alot different than these so the write-ups for those dont help..
Thanks in advance,
Mike

 

in the oven, but you do know you can't pull the orange part out, right? are you gonna DTM them?

 

I'm not a newb...haha... I wanted more specific information from someone that has done this once before.... I could've gotten that answer from the 97-99 write ups... like what to do with the tabs that the 95/96 housings have??...Thanks though...
I have all clears that I just got in the mail that im going to red clear....

Mike

 

Hey Mike, Let me know if you get a write up on this, I need them as well. Still waiting 4 mine (3 of them) to arrive. Thanx...Eddie

 

Hey Eddie,
Yeah, I got them late tonight from UPS..
Good packaging... and they even came with bulbs!
I mean, the tail lights are pretty much like the 97-99's, except the 95-96 housings have 4 tabs holding the outer lense on...I'm just trying to figure out if theres any trick, or special thing I should do to ensure that I don't screw up these irreplacable lights!

well its basically the same theory and technique in opening 95-96 as 97-99. its only once its open where the things change. Just take the tails off the car bring them inside. take out the bulbs and wiring. heat oven to 200 degrees and then bake for 10-13 minutes. do 1 at a time, because it takes a couple minutes once their out of the oven to seperate the plastic from the housing. once it was in the oven for 10-13 mins use oven mit to take it out and also to handle it with just 1, ur gunna need a free hand to use with a screw driver. then you take a flat screw driver between the housing and the plastic at the tabs and pull the tab up a lil bit then seperate a little bit the plastic from the housing, do it to all 4 tabs then work the flat head around the housing seperating it and pulling the plastic off, take ur time and be gentle. it will come off, just be nice.
Then once its off do your dirty work.
once your done put the plastic peice over the housing dont try and force it back on the glue prolly cooled down so it wont happen, just put it over top and bake in oven for like 7-9 mins to heat it back up, then push the plastic peice into the housing back to how it was. and hold it there for a little bit to make sure it goes in flush and the glue settles. Repeat for the other tail.

 

I hear ya, Im almost scared to try to attempt this. Cause if we screw up, there goes $150. Ill keep looking as well 4 a write up, and let you know as well if I find one. Thanx again.

 

Thanks for the info!
