I heave read on here that FGs aren't as easy as B series. My BFII lights came apart after just leaving them on concrete on a mid 30s day Bseries4lyf 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89144-fg-headlight-splitting/page/2/#findComment-1498398 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JET50T Donating Members 152 Member For: 14y 2m 11d Gender: Male Location: Castle Hill Posted 10/09/14 06:43 AM Share Posted 10/09/14 06:43 AM You can do that but it depends on what the manufacturer uses to seal the lights. Has obviously changed between B series to FG. Had mine in oven for over half an hour at 150 and couldn't split them 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89144-fg-headlight-splitting/page/2/#findComment-1498404 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MA91CK billet turbos and weathered engines dont mix Donating Members 1,346 Member For: 13y 8d Gender: Male Location: Wollongong Posted 10/09/14 12:13 PM Author Share Posted 10/09/14 12:13 PM All you gus are right. The usual stuff is butyl rubber, that's the stuff that melts when heated. I'm pretty sure fg have been done with silicon. So I have about a 5% chance of splitting them. I may hit you up JET50T, that's what I'll be using anyway, can never have enough!

Only way is to cut them open, why ford used silicon and not butyl rubber is beyond me!
