Has anyone replaced just the tail light lenses? I have the gt cheese gratters and want LX's... I found a set of lenses cheap. How bad are they to pull apart and change? thanks

use a razor and cut the black rubber all the way around, they'll pop off, clean the rubberoff , re-seal with a thin strip of RTV, install. hold pressure for 5 minutes.

sounds like even I can handle that

let 'em sit overnight if possible, to fully cure the sealant.

What color and what shape are your current ones in???

Also be carefull when pulling off the lens from the housing as they can break.

Also a side note- do not get cheap LX replica lights because they WILL NOT fit properly onto the existing housing and if you push them on you will crack the entire lens. We paidsome wreckerabout $150 for some new replicas that were junk and both broke very easily when we tried to push them onto the butle tape and clips.

my lenses had screws? they used to be clear LX tails and i took the lenses off to paint them like LX lights and they had screws to take them off.

thats cuz clear lenses aren't stock. your whole housing and len's are more than likely aftermarket.

i installed one of the cheap ones made in china on my drivers side rear...after 1 year it warped at teh top and has now pulled free of the housing. I'm thinking of using a torch to heat it and bend it back into shape....it was like 60 bucks!!!...i got what i paid for....
