when referring to this DIY in the forum:

https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...threadid=46907

instead of opening the tail lights by "baking" them is it possible to use a screw driver to poke in through the hole where the turn signal bulb goes and break the amber piece into small pieces and pour it out?

(if im not mistaken this is what 5th genners do)

thanks.

 

I've heard of one person doing it, but he *****ed because he scratched the crap out of the lens in doing so

 

just the guy i was looking for.
i mena once its loose inside cant you use needle nose plyers and break it that way?

i havent had a chance to take mine apart to see, we keep having more and more snow

 

the hole is pretty tiny, you'd have to do a lot of fiddling to get it out. if you got some pretty small but sturdy needle nose you could probably do it. I've also seen some people burning it to pieces with soldering iron too, but then they complain because the housing hazes up, so that's not an option. You could always give it a try and if all else fails open it up the over way. It's worth a shot.

ahhh the man's quest, always in search of a better lookin ass to look at ROFL!!!

 

hahaha amen

so i think what i will do is when i take it out, i'll see if its possible to do it, if i have any doubts i will bake em and see.

thanks for the hel tho illusion

 

oh an illusion, that pic you posted of the bakc lights, did you change the bulbs at all or are the stock bulbs still in? i cant see any orange at all.

 

I have APC titan bulbs in the back and front turns, they're silver coated amber bulbs. So it's silver when it's off, nive and orange when it's on. Looks purty during the day, and keeps the fuzzies away.

they look like this

 

I did mine a month ago and yup I scratched a little bit not the lense but the silver reflector inside. I used a dremel and cut a little hole on the side and pulled the amber plastic out in one piece. Believe me it is a pain in the ass to pull that **** out.

 

It's best if you open it and take out the amber box instead of trying to break it and prying it out. I did it to mine.

 

ah ok, so general consensus is to take the thing apart by melting the glue?

i'll have to give that a shot

and illusion how much did those bulbs cost and what size are they?
