Thread: 1997 Black GTP - Soon To Be Thumping.

lol them windshield wipers do hook up kinda weird. I had to tighten my wipers onto the transmission rod or whatever you call it. the snow knocked it all outta whack. i hate our wipers.

The tail lights are in the oven and baking at 190* to help get all the condensation out.

All condensation is gone, but there is still actual water in the bottom of the tail light by the reflector. Any thoughts on how to remove that?







Putting my LED Tail Light in the oven makes me quite nervous.

Ive probably checked on it 20 times in 40 minutes.

I baked the tail lights for awhile at 200* and i finally took it out when all condensation looked like it was gone.

Once i took it out, the whole tail lights fogged up completely. Change in temp caused this from? from oven to normal house temp?

So its been sitting in my room for 2 days now and it wont get any better than this. There is a small stream of water along the bottom of the Tail Light by the reflector that i have no idea how to get out, or get too.

I need help, any suggestions?







On a good note though, i was driving to the gym and i was on the highway. A nice long straight stretch without any cars close so i decided to bring the GTP up to speed. Going about 3/4 throttle from 70-100 then i punched it at 100 to 120. Pulled decently at that high speed, no shake or vibrations. Looks like the old girl can still hold up to speeds at 120+

JLiss said it right.

Yeah, my trans shift quite hard with the shift kit. I enjoy it. Relief to have that rebuilt with some extra parts.

I have no idea how to separate the Lens from the tail light it self. Seems a little sketchy to me. i dont want to ruin anything

if you send them back spyder will tell you to contact to company you bought them through. thats what happened with my headlights i got them thru amazon tho so really good customer service. i had a replacement set in 2 days

They are non-returnable though.

So now what?

hmmmm no idea.

Thats why i kinda need to figure out how to fix this before ii re-seal and tint.

He did have to re-seal his but he got all the water out by baking his.

I tried baking mine, didnt work and some of the chrome on the tail light started to fade so i had to quit baking it.

Im stumped.

Do you happen to have a dehumidifier? You could try laying one of those by the taillights overnight and see if it removes the condisation.

Great idea actually. Someone in my family has one, ill give that a try for sure.

Im open to all options.

Oops. Edited tapatalk.

You're baking them, that is part of the whole process to remove the lenses...
Start prying on the edges slowly working your way around, and putting them back in the oven as necessary to expand the glue.

But the chrome on the tail Light started to fade as it was in the oven.

You're going to tint them anyways... right?

You'll never notice some fading once tinted, and being LED lights, it doesn't need the chrome to reflect off of, so no worries.

That would be my option #2 after you try the dehumidifier..is too just have them tinted and you won't notice as much
