Removing the plastic lens fro the headlights ?

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, As many recommended i heated the headlight assembly, sort of too hot to handle, but i need to know where the actual separation is from the main black plastic moulding from the lens ?

I have moved all the clips and the actual joint the clips are supporting is where i tried to prise the two apart, no way. ! !

So before i break something can any member who has carried this out before i break something, tell me where the actual joint is ?

Is it wher i have placed the tool in the pici attached ?. Many thanks. Herbie.

Got mine in front of me now Herbie as I've been refurbishing them.

 

There is a small nib on the left hand side of the lens, as well as another on the right.

 

But they are mainly just for locating it on the housing, as sidewaysdan said they should just pull apart. Might just need another 60 seconds or so of heat to make the glue more flexible.
