hello,
i have these ebay s13 clear corners and i wanted to take them apart and spray them black inside. I heard you can usually open corner/head lights using a heat gun/oven but i am worried about the whole housing melting. anyone do this before? any alternatives?

pre heat over to 200 F and pop them in for 10-15 min. They should be hot enough to pull the lense off the housing. This is the basics, do a search for 1 of hundreds of write ups on the net.

preheat oven to 245 , get a tray and put some aluminum foil on it...put them in and the glue should be warm enough to pull apart the lens...just like Rotten Egg said

Put them in the oven, turn the oven to automatic clean mode and buy oem ones.
