Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Southwest tail lights

sorry to be posting again so soon but,

Have any of you guys tried the oven trick. You know, preheat oven @ 200 deg, throw the housing in there, then pull the ligh appart, romove red stuff inside, then put on reflective tape. I hear of many other cars doing it, but has any body done it with a mystique or a contour? just wondering
thanks JP

that sounds cool. Would like to see that after it is done.

If I remember the plastic outer piece is actually red plastic...so the light is probably already reflective on the inside.

I could be wrong though.

Brad you're 100% correct. The reflector inside is a smooth parabolic. The lens of the tail lights are fluted to disperse the light and are solid red plastic. This couldn't be done to the car. There's many things to do it's just having the guts to do it!

Bring on the mods!!
