    Opening Altezza lights

    Is it possible? Is there a way of taking off the lens without damaging it so I could reassemble it?

    Thanks

    yes and no. I have done this project attempts a few times. i say attempts because some didnt go so well ;) It really depends how cheap of altezza's you get. If there just regular cheap APC tails then yes. If the adhesive is white then no it wont work. if its silver or black possibly. if u do the steps below and there is no progress then u will probably not have any luck. i have melted acouple sets of tails when i heated to much or to many times.

    Preheat ur oven to 300. then turn it off and put the tails in for 10-15 min. make sure the ovin is off or this will go south quick ;) to put it in ther ei suggest a cookie sheet and then put a towel on it then the tail on the towel.

    take it out and try to prey apart. its best if u can do this quick becasue the more u have ot heat the tails the more it may melt and sag the lense and inner lenses. If you do have ot reheat let the tail cool to room temp then redo the process. also using a haidryer to keep it hot while prying works well.

    if you need more help in this project let me know :D
