can you do the front ones like that without taking the lenses off

 

[geoff pine]

no dont think so think it would brake the clear plastic :shock: the orange dome in the front is made of thicker plastic than the back . it so easy to do the way its shown in the how to do section and it does work 8) though if im wrong some one will say so.

yes its a piece of p i s s and far less hassle than cooking them at gas mark 5 :lol:

just do it carefully,

cheers kieron

is there a recommended way to do it ?

what tools should be used ?

how is the orange bit held in ,bonded ?

 

[Keira]

the orange bit is on tags, i was impatient and popped it into the indicator with a good whack with a screwdriver :roll: dave told me off :lol:

then i just started snipping away until it was all in little bits and out it fell, daves technique was to crack it first before whacking it

cheers kieron

i've got an old cracked one i'll practice on that one first before breaking a good one :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[r5ben]

had a look at mine and i did think about doing that just didnt want to have bits of old orange plastic jumping about inside :?

i did mine then painted the inside black leaving a small reflective bit for the bulb to light thw whole holder
