Baking Headlights Method? Will it work with..
Okay first off.. DEPO sucks hahaha.. i knew i shoulda bought real square fogs!!!..
anyways.. okay i took the fog lights off today oh btw its for a 96-98.. umm i opened it up and the condensation basically made the laminate crack inside of the fog light.. so i took off the glass.. will baking the fog lights the same way like doing the headlights work? im trying to take apart the glass so i can repaint the inside..

aftermarket sealant is usually a bitch to get off. You will be baking for a long time. But it's glass, so no worries. JUST DONT GET NEAR ANY WATER FOR LIKE AN HOUR AND A HALF. lol seriously. Some water accidentally splashed on my EK glass fogs after like 10 mins...and it cracked the hell outta the glass. I had to bake it at 450, then it didnt come off, so i had to hold it over the stove on an open flame and melt the glue and pry VERY carefully. It took me for ever.

I know what you're trying to do, but I was trying to let you know that on DEPO foglights, the front lens comes off so you can just bake that and not risk damaging your housing or wiring.

They also sell candy yellow paint so you can do the inside of your lens
**EDIT**
Just realized that you may not have access to a spraygun .....
Rustoleum makes a chrome spray, and so does Testors (model paint). Baring that, you can get it re-electropated chrome.

hmm.. i honestly cant say, but i know that it deff works for the headlights.... i have a 96-98 coupe, i backed the headlights on 200 deg F. for 8 mins each, and then they just pryed apart like nothing... takes a lil force, but its not too hard... then just smoked them... lol i know there not fogs, but i hope this helps...
