taiilights parts update 200

So looks like Volvo used sell replacement lenses for the 6 panels taillights.I got some from fellow Brickboarder and Turbobricker 83GLT.I now know why they stop making these things.I worked on one taillight for about 30 min.and I'm still not done.You have to be real careful in removing ALL of the old broken lens along with any of the glue.It is tricky getting into the corners with a knife,blade,file,etc.Also very hard not to touch the reflector.The other worry is in trying to dislodge the old lens without breaking anything else.I think I need to trim the replacement a bit to get a tighter fit towards the center.I also will be removing MORE of the old glue until the edges of the old lamp are silver in color with the hope that the new lens will fit very tight against the housing.I'm going to list the part numbers and hope it is ok with 83GLT.It is a bit of work but if the rest of the lamp is fine it is worth the effort.Hey we resolder relays and try to save other parts so why not the taillight!I'm also posting a link to photo bucket to show you my progress.If anyone knows how to post the pics on here be my guest.
