Thanks frosty.

I'm gonna attempt the same thing soon I'm gonna purchase a second set of lights to do it too.

Smudge don't bother! to me this doesn't even seem real, I mean it!

After an hour I have got no where! The lens and back box melt well before the sealant even comes close to loosening up! It's like concrete! You can't pry because everything else is so soft!  

I would rather shove hot coals up my !Removed! eye than attempt this again!

How did you try to do it and how easy was the headlights to remove off the car 

[Aggo]

I tried every feasible way even with professional pry tools, in the end I tried to dremmel it open until I was crouched over for so long my back went and had to go to hospital!

It was bumper off then 4 bolts on the light, real easy to get off but lens is another story, safe to say I won't be attempting it again!

Definitely gonna be a job for a second pair of lights then ...

[Aggo]

don't try it without! or do what I did on the most hidden area that disappears when bumper is on, I'm buying some on eBay £160 the pair not worth the hassle for that!
