headlight disassembly

[saturn_06]

ok i got condensation on my wagon headlight


how do i take the clear part off w/o breaking it?

[therealm0rh0us]

you should buy one from a junkyard first
ive taken them apart before theres 4 clips and then you got to cut the seal and carefully seperate the glass from the rest and your better off just gettin g another one
good luck either way

therealm0rh0us is right, if you have a junkyard nearby pick one up from there, it's damn sure cheap enough.

If you want to remove the lens you have to pull the four clips and then place it in the oven at 200* for about 40 minutes or so. When it's soft enough, you can pull them apart CAREFULLY and then do your thing.

As I said, the junkyard solution is much easier, believe me. I only pull them apart to paint, and that's it.

i have 2 sets lol

a lot of the time, in my experience, it's from the o-ring on the bulb not fitting snugly and sealing. look into that first.

WHAT!?!? ..... do the easy thing first? We are Saturn owners, we like it difficult lol. Yeah, should have said that first, since it's happened to me on the Ford a couple of times.

how about u just take it off the car, take out the bulbs and let it dry in the sun till all the mostier is out? seams alot eiasier and cheaper to me

[PlastikAvenger]

yea but hes trying to FIX the problem of the moisture getting in there....even if he dries it out...its just gonna keep comin back

[xupthree60]

i thought everyone concured that it was the o-ring?

dry it out, dont rip it apart, dont buy a new one, and replace that o-ring and see if it works better

either way the lens is never the same once its got water on it theyre always cloudy
and buy an oring that comes with a 6$ bulb seperate?
where can i find that deal
