Hi all, long time lurker, first post. Hope this is in the right section.
I have a 2013 d22, it cops most of its punishment as a workhorse for my landscaping, although after a few weeks on here, I'm keen to go for a bit of a bash.
Has anyone successfully removed the lenses from the tail lights?
I recently removed my tail lights to polish out some scratches ,wet dry sandpaper 400-800-2000 then cut and polish.
Came up a treat, scratches are gone, and the lights shine like new.
Only problem is, some of the Polish worked its way into the gap around the edge of the light. It didn't bother me until I tried to clean it, not only is it too deep in the gap for me to get too, which I was prepared to just deal with. But it worked its way under the edges of the lense. I can see it from the outside and it's driving me crazy.
I was under the impression that the lights were water tight.
Any way, I decided to try and remove the lense to give the whole unit a good clean.
I can see two screws, and several clips around the edge of the lense, it seemed it would be a easy job. The screws came out no worries, but I can't get the clips to budge, in fact, I damaged the plastic on the light frame trying to pry the clip open
Has anyone done this before, have you got any tips for me?
Thanks guys
Jesse
