Congrats on breathing life back into the SC. So... I have a Q: have some fogging in my headlight lens & wanted to know. #1- can they be cleaned & resealed or do you need a whole new assembly? & #2- are they easy to disassemble? & thx for any responses.

hb55047 Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 i have seen a few topics like the link above that helps with that. i discovered that one of my headlight is cracked and there is condensation on the inside, so i havent even thought about cleaning them yet. the only problem you will have is if its yellowed or faded on the inside of the lens. then you are going to have to bake your headlight to heat up the adhesive so you can take the lens off.

24fps Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Thanks Guys... Will give my lenses a little work this weekend. But still want to know (if anyone knows) how to remove the assembly? Do you just carefully pry off the lens cover.??? The fogging I'm getting is on the inside & it's water condensation. Was hopin' I could clean/dry & simply reseal w/ a good glue/sealant. BTW: no yellowing @ all. Lucky I guess. But I'll take that anyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hb55047 Posted June 4, 2005 Author Share Posted June 4, 2005 well i am no expert on this, since i havent done it myself. but i read that there are basically 2 ways of doing it. either baking the headlight in an oven on low temperature until the seal heats up and you can pry it off. the second way is to use a razor and cut along the very edge where the sealant touches the plastic. hopefully someone who has done it before can offer more input.
