The original sealant is a pita to get off, but make sure you get it all out or it wont reseal right.

Going to revive this thread for a little info. Will I have any issues if I paint my turn signal bowl? I dont think I will other than making them a little dimmer. Oh btw I'm planning on painting them gloss black, if that helps at all. Thanks in advance yall!

heat gun helps once you get it all heated i don't think you can get it all heated up enough with just the gun to get it apart it will cool in the other parts as you go around....dont be scared just make sure you take all the screws out and 250 for 15-20 worked for me I then had to put it back in for a few more minutes then it comes right apart. Painting the bowls works best if you insert projectors but if you keep the stock bulbs it will not look right at night...
