rear neon???

[DavidDC114]

hey, my mark suffered from the mold in the neon, i actually found a new take off neon, was taken off a new car in 98, and it is absolutely brand new. but my original is also like brand new, car only has 30k on it. i am saving the ballast as an extra, but it would be a shame to throw away an absolutly mint neon, is there an easy way to open these up?? would like to see what i could do about eaither rebuilding it as a spare or maybe retrofitting some lind of LEDs in it somehow...

I read recently on one of the Mark VIII forums that what you are seeing that looks like mold is in fact etching where the metal reflector has deterioated. And yes a few of the more adventurious guys have taken them apart and put them back together. I read a post about this earlier today.
