Had a look at removing my rear lights today, its got the 4-pot light conversion which has been well fitted, but unfortunately I really dont like it. :lol:

 

When I say well fitted I mean its all blended into the body - I had a look from behind and its got yellowy-greeny stuff that it seems to be held in with, as you can see where the excess bits have started to drip out. Can someone tell me what it is and whats the best way to remove it? Its solidified and pretty tough getting through with a knife. I'd rather not knacker the light panel as I'd be wanting to sell it on when I've fitted my new lights.

 

 

 

chewing gum???. how the hell are we going to know :slap::lol::lol:

Looks like some sort of sealer,have you tried warming it?:ph34r:

If its all blended in to the body, i would say you are going to need to get the rear resprayed after you get the panel off. When i fitted mine, i used some sikaflex, p40 and p38. No way its coming out in one piece lol.

 

You would need to sand down to the filler to get the join line, before getting to the cutting out stage.

 

Good luck.

I know its gonna need some work to remove it... but its gotta go! :whistling:

 

Theres a tiny bit of rust around the edge of where the light is so the rear was going to get sorted and painted anyway.

 

@Daz - your use of a smiley suggests you were taking the piss lol... wouldn't heating it up upset the panel/paint or literally just heat up the sealant (I have no idea :lol:)

 

its these lights btw

 

wheres Daz :tt2:

 

I would heat it up from behind, if you do the pannel it will only distort and go rubbery.

Thats not fully blended in, so not so bad with the panel line.

Wasn't takin' the piss mate,and I said warm it-not heat it!

As said,from behind.If it's filler (quite possible that colour) you gonna have fun!:laugh:
