I can't for the love of god open these headlights! The sealant comes off and is gooie but I pull and can't get them off I tried heating the edges but it makes the plastic weak and it broke twice but the lens won't come off. I tried heating through the low beam hole and still nothing just got the hole of the reflector burned. Any tips?

 

I'm not gonna try the oven BTW -_-

 

Put them in an oven 1 at a time at 200 degrees for 20 minutes. Have gloves and a thin putty knife or box cutter to cut the goo when you spread them apart

 

just use the oven it worked fine for me i took both lights apart in less then an hour... i didnt even need to scrape much of the existing glue out i was able to just pull them apart

 

^^^^^^ x3!!!!!!

 

I got them open with a hairdryer lol it worked better than the heat gun -_- now getting the glue off is a pita :/

I cleaned the housing taped and peeped then I go out side to paint and the a lot of wind and dirt in the air -_- ... I guess god doesn't want me to paint my lights lol

 

Trust me...
put some wood on the oven rack and bake each headlight alone for 15-20 minutes at 200

 

I have them off just need to get the old sealant off and seal them. Will have them done by tomorrow. Painted them today

 

subd for pics!

 

Got them done earlier today.. have the pics up later today

 

why did you take off the old sealant? stock stuff is awesome.

 

i didnt know i could reuse it til i took it off -_- .. but i dont think these light were even gm headlights. they looked like cheap replacements to me. i want to buy new ones later on. what can i use to make the lens give a little shine because the clear started peeling a few weeks back

 

got some pictures btw!
