BrownBetty85 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Does anyone know how to separate tail light lenses from housings? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyinajeep726 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I've done it before on XJ housings by way of prying... Lots of patience and carefully. Done one pair, no issues. The other pair, cracked and chipped several places. My friend did split a set using a heat gun and prying. Looked like crap because parts were melted, and other parts cracked. Why do you want to split them, anyway? Custom LED boards or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 from in this thread: http://comancheclub.com/topic/13633-clean-up-your-tail-lights/ The baking method worked pretty well. 15 minutes at 200 degrees loosened them up and I was able to pull them apart with a putty knife.

BrownBetty85 Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 Thanks Pete I will give that a shot. One already worked most of its self loose so that shouldn't be a prob but REALLY don't want to break the lense just paid $140 for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
