Lens On Altenza Tails - blue_light - 08-11-2008
I want to take the clear lens of the lights so I can change the color, how do I take the lens off without breaking it?

BTW - that's the short version; I strongly recommend you search for more detailed instructions.

I used a paint stripper and a couple of screwdrivers to pry it open. More control of heat that way.

an oven is a good start but for better control, and more heat right where you need it I wouldd us a paint stripper as noted above. If you are looking for a complete How-to please see : http://www.focusfanatics.com/howtos/resealingtaillight/
or just do a google search, there are quite a few of them but all give the same info. Have a ball. Don't get too rammy and break it ......
