Taking apart bumper lights?

[WeDgE]

I just received a set of clear bumper lights from an eBay auction. I will be trying to mate them with a set of foglights I have and will be installed under the stock bumper lights. I need to take the lights apart so I can see how I can incorporate the foglights into them. These are plastic so I'm thinking the oven won't work as they'll melt. Blowdryer perhaps? Any other suggestions?

blowdryer or a heat gun should work. oven is bad bad idea unless u want a stinky house and a Horrid smelling oven

Dont bulbs from a fog light operate at a higher temperature? Wont that melt the bumper light lense? I used to wire my bumper light so that it would stay on when ever my headlights/Daytime running lights were on. I used a hyper white bulb which operated at a higher temperature and it melted the bumper lense.

Just wondering.....

they do melt...so i seen...someone put some 9006 in there..haha that melted.

i wanted to do this but u need to find some high temp plastic that wont melt like the jdm fog light plastic kind.

Accordztech....I miss having my head lights wired like yours.

I think i might rewire it this weekend.

[accordztech]

why did u not do it...

imma re do the wiring to run the wires in the fender so it wont look bad.

threadjack! haha

No, I'm not just putting a bulb in...I'm integrating foglights that I already have, housing and all, into a set of bumper lights which will sit below the factory bumper lights...

ive had that idea a while back, i was on the lookout for a set of foglights that were 1" or less tall, to fit inside of my clear bumper lenses. i talked to xplode for a while... ever try touching the foglight housing while its been on for a while? it gets hot from what i hear... if a 9006 will melt a housing (like it did for me), an aftermarket fog light mounted inside will melt it too. i still have some DIY ideas floating around in my head, but im pretty darn sure yours isnt gonna work

yeah.. def bad idea unless u can obtain some glass that will fit, even that, the lense is a plastic composite. that will melt too..

My recent CB7 was stolen and I had my bumper lights wired like yours.

My new CB7 is all stock. I just finished lowering it last weekend. I need to install my camber kit.

^central california...hehe no wonder ur car got jacked...i live in sacramento.

anyways...someone i heard a while back put a huge spacer between the bulb and the plastic lens and set it back...thus eliminating heat..but i still think it will melt.
