akacheesy 0 Posted July 18, 2012 I've just got a pair of front fog lamps from someone breaking a later VR6. My problem is that the plastic housing has been broken and is missing in places. Does anyone know if you can remove the lights from the housing? Before I start trying and breaking them lol many thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted July 18, 2012 They are just bonded to the plastic with some sealant, i took some apart but the lenses were smashed. Probably worth heating them up if you don't mind sacrificing the plastic parts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akacheesy 0 Posted July 18, 2012 OK, cheers. Just don't wanna break them getting them out. Maybe a hair-dryer then some gentle persuasion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StueyB 0 Posted July 18, 2012 I've attempted this and it's pretty tough going, the sealant is very durable. Heat gun [hair dryer won't kick it] + skinny soldering iron are good tools for this job and some sharp implements. Oh and patience. I liken this job to removing rear windows or windscreens just on a much smaller scale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akacheesy 0 Posted July 19, 2012 I am thinking that I can just break away the redundant plastic bits, they're broken anyway, and that might make the job a little easier. I think I have a heat gun somewhere. Are the fog light units difficult to remove from the car? I'm assuming so as these have obviously been butchered on removal.

Jim Bowen 1 Posted July 19, 2012 Nah, shouldn't be hard to remove, just a few screws, unless the screws went rusty/seized Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
