I have a pair of the 914 euro driving lights that need the reflector re chromed. The lenses are "glued" into the reflector similar to the 7" H4's. There is no rubber seal like the 914 fogs. Anyone successful in separating these?
Thanks in advance, Brad Mayeur Attached image(s) |

Brad, I just did this...pre-heat the oven to 300 degree F, once hot, let them heat soak for 15-20 minutes.
You of course will need gloves, and appropriate work clothes. C A U T I O N ! I WAS NOT WORRIED ABOUT SAVING THE OFF COMING LENS! It was sand blasted from the track! Once heat soaked, use a small sharp object, I used a small common screwdriver to get a small separation started, then worked in a dental spatula and went around the lens as it came loose. Heat gun to get the rest off, small fragments of glue/glass that stayed behind. Just waiting on my new ones to show up! MB Attached thumbnail(s) |
