removing headlight glass

[loc33e]

hi, i have an idea that might just work if im able to remove the headlight glass. can someone help me out removing it or tell me some steps to remove the glass without making it crack

Step 1: Take off both clips on side of lense
Step 2: Get hair dryer out and warm up the edges of the lense (make sure the glass is atleast warm when you touch it)
Step 3: Begin to wedge the lense off slowly with a small screw driver (if still not budging much or sealant is very stringy, heat up more with hair dryer)

Step 4: It should be off :P

Installation is the reverse of the above steps, except when putting it back on make sure you heat up the sealant.

You can put it in the oven at a low temp, about 70 or so and leave it in for 5 min try put a screw driver under the glass at the deepest point. If it doesn't come out easy put it back in the oven for 5 mins. Don't just put the screw driver next to the glass and try twist the screw driver to get it out you will chip the glass!! I seriously done it 20 mins ago lol :P Hot water also softens up the glue stuff holding it on.

just curious whats your idea

another thing you have to work fast...

placing back the glass is gay when it hardens..

Heatgun + Screw Driver

Heat it up, pop it out. Who cares if it drys. You heat the glue up again and the lens. And put it back in..

I have just taken one of mine off this morning and used a heatgun and a flat blade scraper to lever it out from the top.

I wouldn't use a screwdriver.

Go gently and cut the sealant with a razor blade as you go.

I did this just an hour ago swapping my glass over for a un-damaged one, put it in the oven at 150c for 3 minutes and break the seal with a flat head screw driver at the corner, leavered it up and off.. used another second flat head and keep leap frogging them and levering it off bit by bit.. Easy!

Reheat for 3 mins when putting it back on, then put glass in place.. Another 3 mins? gets the sealant back into stick and seals it.. Done!

Good luck, Dillon
