I recently purchased a kit from Digi Tails, to convert the '81-'83 Malibu taillights to LEDs. As I look at the taillight housings, it looks like the outer lenses are somehow bonded to the back part of the housing, where the original bulbs plug in. The instructions that come with the kit don't mention anything about removing or reinstalling the outer lenses. Does anyone here know of a way to separate the outer lens from the housing with minimal to no breakage? Small cutoff wheel on a Dremel tool? Perhaps heating a utility knife and trying to gently cut through the bonded areas? Also, what would be the best way of reassembly? Crazy glue? Anyone here who has done this before? Thanks in advance.
You might PM Hafrod. He's working on his 55 Chevy nowadays but he has a lot of G-Body knowledge. If he checks the forum, he may be able to help.
