Turn Signal Lamps
Does anyone know if the lenses on the turn signal lamps are able to come out? Because Mazda sells them seperately but when I take off the old turn signal lamp from the car I cant get the lense off because it seems to be sealed. Can anyone help me out?

Blast them with a heat gun to loosen up the sealant. You'll then be able to pull them apart. While your in there you can remove the orange piece an make clear lenses.

Are you sure they sell the lense separately?
It is a sealed unit. I essentially broke mine trying to take it apart. |

Why are you changing them? If it's just because of cloudiness, I've had some luck with polishing them up.
FWIW, I used some Mequire's Clear Plastic Polish, clamped a variable speed buffer on my bench and held the lens in my hand against the pad. I found I can control everything better and watch out for too much heat build up. They buffed out pretty nice. Cost was < $10, and < half-hour. |

Hey, if you end up breakings your turn signal I'll sell you my OEM ones. Car had 26,000 miles when I took them off. Perfect condition, $50 for both. That being said good luck!
