Rep Power: 0 if the hot water works then i'm guessing it'll be the same as clearing you headlights....
in which case i used a heat gun....they're good for all sorts of car projects(tint & clearing lights) you can get 'em for like $20-30.

preheat oven to 250 degrees, stick them in there for about 5 minutes then take out and pull apart.[hr]

I thought I heard someone say that the OEM tailights did'nt have inserts, but that the plastic was actually Red. If that's the case (which I hope it's not) then clearing would be umpossible, would'nt it...

Rep Power: 413 First, Fraga, he is trying to smoke them.
Secondly, I am serious about putting them in the oven. IT is easy to do it that way to clear head lights, why not the tail lights?

Rep Power: 378 Well, robbclark1, it would work either way as Rider has shown us. In the oven or in hot water.
Second, if you can get them seperated, why not use tint. Would'nt that last much longer then that smoke spray.

Rep Power: 0 wel, im thinking about putting them in the oven cause i have no way to heat a big enough tub of water to fit the tails in, but anyways, 250 for 10 min. should i put it on a rack or somthing so i prevent melting or do i just plop it in there???
