rear lens disassembly
Ok, I did some searching, but was unable to find exactly what I was looking for...
I have the rear center light out of the car, and its sitting on my bathroom sink, I wish to dissassemble it, to remove the red bars across the back up lights, an the SUBARU insignia. What exactly do I need to do? is there epoxy? heating involved? |

This should be interesting. I have thought about doing the samething. However I remember reading that others have tried and said the name can't be removed.

reading past posts, others have done it. But there arent any actual clear instructions for the disassembly.

Disassembly would be similar to the headlight disassembly, so try searching for that, there was a how-to on headlight disassembly in order to clean the lenses a while back.
Basically heat and pry is all you need to know. Name can be removed using a fine sandpaper.

hmmm
the rear is under very different conditions then the front, as well as the fact that the bulbs dont have the same heat. I would think it would be quite different then the front.

I did this to headlights on my old car.
put them in the oven for about 10 minutes on 250*F. Started prying them apart, then put them back in the oven for 5 more minutes and pryed them completely off. I guess the procedure would be the same .....its actually easy ....low heat and keep an eye on em.
