I have to do a bit of de-tangoing as part of a body repair im carrying out on a 2004 sti spec-c, only thing is i'm a de-tango virgin, anyone got any tips/advice, thanks Jarvis

 

i used the oven method remove bulbs etc and pull oven door down put them on the door and keep checkin them literaly they will pull apart then reversal putting back together be carefull not to cook them though

Oven and a bit of sikoflex / tigerseal when you're putting them back together. I don't think the booth would get hot enough to soften the seal. You could go down the hot gun route as when you removed the votex.

 

I've done 2 cars and used hairdryers both times [can't work ovens lol] without any probs.

 

No surpise there then Jarvis.

 

Pippyrips or Chris (WRX STi) did theirs Calv

 

Not sure if it works on a 2004 but on my bugeye I just used a long pair of tin snips through the hole where the bulb fits and cut the orange lens in to pieces then just shook all the bits out

I did not dare put them in the oven

 

Job done, thanks guys, took about 15mins in the end but it was a new lamp and did'nt have to remove from the car, thanks for that link Madisonmonkey, my subaru dealer Keith Price Subaru took the trouble to supply me with a full copy of the original thread by Talizman with the new lamp when it came down today, how's that for dealer service?
While i'm here has anyone stripped a hawkeye HID lamp to paint the inside black, maybe have to do another thread

 

Not me Ian, but we do both have black ones
