the almighty joey mod

[bricey]

right chaps,
thanks to dave_IOW i have got a oem set off lights to hand,
what is the most practical way of doing this mod,
smashing the glass in set A and then try and take the the glass off set B and then seal together,
or trying to bake one set in te oven to take the glass off.
i did use the search but couldnt find the real answer

You can bake em, but be very careful! I did it to mine and the plastic started melting! 
You should be able to use a stanley knife to go round and break the sealant, then prise them apart with a small flat head screwdriver.
Have a search in the Mk3 section as alot of us do it and it cant be much different with mk4 lights. I'm sure there is a guide in the mk3 maintenance section but cant be arsed to look!

well so far
i have taken this route,
dremmel basicly 95%of all thhe black plastic off the head light unit-so im left with just the lense and say 2mm of the plastic still on,
then bung the lenses in the oven for 2 mins and peel the remaing plastic off.just leaving the lense and the sealent that was used to put them together in the 1st place.

Glad its going alright mate

cheers dude,
the hardest thing i see about this mod iwhen smashing the glass on the other lights and spending half my life
picking the glass out

[Dave_IOW]

Smash it over a neighbors fence or something and give it a shake

Chuck them in the over @ 50*-60* and leave for about 5 mins, mine came straights off nothing melted!

mk3 or mk4 the glue is pretty solid
