500 MJ Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I wonder if using a hot knife / hot wire would work well to cut the old lens from the housing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canine Cheese Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 could try it but you are still looking for a viable sealing system afterwards... I personally love sikaflex.. the stuff is amazing but not sure if this would be a good application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Another part to consider when readhereing the lens to the housing is that it has to be temperature resistant. Now, not super high temps, but it can’t melt from driving around at night with the lights on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiemj Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Hi guys what glue do you use to join the back to the front thanks paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 gluing together headlights and tailights is fairly common (for light upgrades). I'd wager you'll find several methods at youtube random pics of the housing I have. trying to show what it's like with the lens removed. keep in mind the one reflector is missing.

TieDyeJK8 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 The new lenses look pretty sweet. Should have both done and on my MJ by the weekend 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiatslug87 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Looks like you need a nice paint job for those to look proper. I’ll stick with my patinaed ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 uh, oh. I sure hope they bought more lenses than 20 of each (I'd honestly be shocked if that's all they made). but either way black trim are sold out on ebay and red are close.

ktmall07 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Wow those look good! Almost worth buying a backup pair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxyjeep Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Anyone 3D printing the housings yet? I'm going to feel bad chopping mine up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Yeah, I definitely want a pair, but I'll wait for another option for housings. I don't want to butcher my originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyRodder Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Likewise with the housings... I have a 3D printer ready to go, if only I knew how to design the housing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
