Re: How Do I Disassembel 1991 RS Camaro Parking Lights

Thats the thing, I spent all my money on restoring the Car, I actually have no money as in 0.00 and a huge hold ticket at my local parts store, so if ya know tell me, its not like I haven't broke my back on this car already I can do the work , I just got it finished and these old nasty lenses just wont work...

i have removed housings , sloshed inside with soapy water several times , rinse several times . then polished outer lens . i won't say they were like new when i finished but they looked 100% better . good luck . ( i used cool water , would not reccomend hot water )

Re: How Do I Disassembel 1991 RS Camaro Parking Lights


you can definatly clean them. warm water mixed with your favorite degreaser will do wonders on the inside and regular car polish/ scratch remover/ rubbing compounds will take care of most of the cloudyness on the outside. no it will not look new but it will be very clean.

You have to cut them open, if you want to get inside.

I converted mine to LED, and the only way in was with a dremel.
