Question Taillight Re-assembly

Ok, I got the outer lens off by baking it at 275* for 15 min. but how do I put the lens back on. I tried heating it up and putting it on but that didn't seem to work too well. Do I just silicone it back on? Thanks.

re-heating wont work. You need to find a suitable glue..clear of course...a good epoxy is probably good enough.

Are there any issues with them fogging up?

I would just make sure theres no moisture in the lens before sealing it.Your probably best off using clear silicone cause if u have to open them again for some reason.I dont think a good epoxy will soften to open in the oven.

So you just remove all the old glue and silicone it back together? Thanks.

YES, just dont "glob" it on, or you will see excess once its pressed back together..

Mines been 100% water/fog free since doing mine.
