make sure you have all the screws out.....think its 9 or 10 screws.2 are hidden a bit...
The following is taken from a post on SCOOBYNET. I do not take credit for this.
Splitting the headlight
This is the bit were every1 panics bout the oven and i was no different lol
first you will need to take out 9 screws from the back of the unit and one of them is hidden under some tape so make sure all 9 are out.
once all unscrewed i got a normal hair dryer and heated up the join and gently pulled the lights apart bit by bit whilst quickly zapping it with the hair dryer every now and then keeping the mastik soft.
once apart there is one screw holding the silver plastic reflector in the lens.
undo this and pull the reflector out.and pop the orange bit out and chuck as far away as possible lol
Painting
i then rubbed it down with some 800 grade wet and dry (wet)
and washed them with some soap and dryed them off.
i then applied 3 coats of grey primer let it dry and lightly rubbed down with 800 grade wet and dry (dry) and washed off dust and let dry.
then applied 4 coats of matt black paint and let them dry over night.
RE-Sealing Lights
to RE-Seal just put the reflector back in with the one screw and re heat the lens and housing with the hair dryer and push back together.
once sealed just screw back together and admire your hany wor
