bluey1 Member 68 Member For: 16y 9d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 19/04/09 07:53 AM Share Posted 19/04/09 07:53 AM Can this night shade stuff be removed at all? I tried this today and I must admit it was a massive failure. Geting the lens off was impossible without craking bits off. when it finally came off with a bit off force and it came time to spray the first coat, it streaked a fair bit which I stupidly tried to correct only to make it worse. if I go dark enough will the streaky-ness disappear or is it better to just remove it all and start again? assuming it can be removed...

ravenhard Donating Members 1,517 Member For: 16y 8m 22d Gender: Male Location: Blacktown! Posted 25/10/09 02:38 AM Share Posted 25/10/09 02:38 AM wow this is such a hard mod to do. I just wrecked a tail light I got by first using too much heat, then applying too much force. Lucky I got this pair of light from ebay for $10 and a 10minute drive. Some hints as I practised on this set before I go a buy another pair of light(if anybody has got some let me know)Firstly take the chrome garnish off before putting it in the oven.I used a stanley knife to "cut" the sealent a few times before prying it off with a flathead. Pry and cut between the red lens and black bit as in photo.Dont put it in the oven like I did for too long. I first put it in for 5 mins on 100C, then when that didnt work I cranked it up to 15C for 15mins. This melted the lens and it sorted melted the lens inwards a bit on the clear bit and red bit so its now concaved(doesnt matter as I broke the lens anyways). Any other hints from people who have done this easily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's doesn't look to glossy either like it can do if you spray the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
