Hi Everyone
i'm in the process of restoring some Hella H3 fog/driving lights (the ones with 5 rivets on the back) but need a bit of help. Everything has come apart ok except for the lenses from the lens bowls. Every picture I've seen of these shows the lens come away from the bowl with a gasket in between, but these look as though they are sealed with white sealant. It all looks original, but i'm thinking is it the gasket that's just gone very hard over 40 years or is it a type of glue ? If it is glue, could it be soaked in petrol or something to soften it ? I'm worried force could crack the lens. Thanks ! Chris |
