There's a few articles on this if you use the Search button. Good luck.

Search both in Archived and Current content. And select the 92-00 Civic/Del Sol forum.

As far as I can remember, you need to heat it up. Oven I would guess is the way to do it.

For fumes and an unsafe home, use oven. Otherwise a heat gun will open the lense.

Stick your lmaps in the oven at like 200. Then wait like 5-10 mins. Then pull then the lmap apart. Go to clubsi.com they have a pic guide line

I used a heat gun on mine but be careful where the gluey silicon stuff gets its hard to get off.
