Ok so I finally got some time to start working on LED taillights. I found out that the lens is melted or plastic welded to the housing. So not able to bake open like I wanted to. I came to the idea of cutting the back off to gain access to the inside. I cut as much as I could while leaving the three mounting screws attached to the lens so I could still have a solid mounting point.
Ok so once I final got it open big PITA I am not happy with the results, good thing I used a tail light with a cracked lens so no a huge lose.
Here are the images:
Shows how they are melted together
Now the reason I want to open it up more then just a circle hole and add a pre made tail light is because I want to create an array of leds to make it different then just a circle. I am not happy with the result and am looking for ideas any of you might have.
