sub'd for an interesting DIY project. Nice job so far man. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

 

 

How are you planning on removing the pink in the cover?

 

looks good.

 

Did you have to dremel the light open?

Throwing them in the oven for a few minutes to loosen the adhesive, and pry them apart was how the VII-IX's were done. Was that not an option for X lights?

 

take the amber out!!! looks good so far...waiting for update!!

 

im ready for someone to make some LED tails

 

lookin good!

 

Very interesting.. by plastic weld, do you mean youre going to melt the plastic back together?

 

Looks interesting. Can't wait to see the final product on the car.

 

no its an actual bond agent that is called plastic weld. it works very well.

thanks for all the responses... i've been slacking with this a little. didnt get much more done today. Tried using paint thinner on a small part of the cover but it didnt work. seems that there is a red hue mixed in the plastic itself-which will be impossible to get rid of.

So im trying to figure out what to do...

 

oh man the suspense. cant wait. ive gone to a couple of junkyard looking for lancer tails just to do this as well. looks like you beat me to it. i hope that the thinner works though considering that color is impregnated into that plastic. cant wait to see your finished product though. good luck

 

it is certainly an option for headlights.... which i will attempt next btw lol but the tail lights cannot be done the same way because they are bonded differently. its plastic bond that will start melting with the rest of plastic if you try throwing it in the oven

 

looks pretty sick to me, when are you going to post pictures of the final product?!?

 

man... you just gave me some ideas... ive got a set sitting in the garage doing absolutely nothing!

time to start modding!
