Headlight Disassembly
CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH DIS-ASSEMBLY OF THE HEADLIGHTS? I HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS OFF THE CAR AND HAVE REMOVED THE 5 SCREWS FASTENING THE FRONT HALF OF THE HEADLIGHT TO THE REAR HALF BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS ALSO A BLACK ADHESIVE THAT IS HOLDING THEM TOGETHER. I USED A HAIR DRYER ON ONE FOR A GOOD 5-10 MIN AND DIDN'T SEEM TO WORK(MAYBE IT WASN'T HOT ENOUGH??)
I AM TRYING TO TAKE THE FRONT HALF OF THE HEADLIGHT OFF SO I CAN REMOVE THE AMBER PARK LENS IN THERE. I HAVE REMOVED ALL THE OTHER AMBER LENSES FROM THE CAR AND THIS IS THE LAST TO GO, BUT I'M IN BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD SPOT. IM SUPRISED I HAVEN'T SEEN MORE PEOPLE REMOVING THIS LENS? ANY HELP IN DIS-ASSEMBLY THOUGH WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS!
I ALSO NOTICED THAT THERE IS A SET OF HEADLIGHTS AVAILABLE AT WWW.CLEARCORNERS.COM THAT HAVE A CLEAR LENS IN PLACE OF THE AMBER ONE. HAS ANYONE HAD ANY LUCK GETTING JUST THE LENS AND IF SO, COULD YOU DIRECT ME AS TO WHERE I COULD FIND THEM??? THANKS AGAIN.

Please take the caps lock off - makes for difficult reading.
