Default Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?

Yesterday i decided to put led side lights in , in my efforts to get the led in it snapped in two and fell into the headlight .
So i removed the headlight assembly to try and jiggle the piece out... No luck there ,too big.
So i watched a few vids of opening headlights by heating them in the oven . looks easy i thought.
15 mins in the oven and the lens can removed they say .
WRONG ! not a crossfire headlight , mine is now cooked and warped and i have to buy a replacement.

now i find out the oven method ONLY works on lights that are sealed with Butyl rubber, the butyl melts before the plastic .
Our crossfire headlights are sealed with something else that does Not Melt , not before the housing does anyway.
Lesson learned.
