i am in the process of trying to remove the glass from my headlight units to spray the inside frame black, but cant get the glass off. i have soaked them in red hot water, i have put them in the oven untill i cud barely pick them up with gloves on and still the glue is not going tacky. i know it is possible to do but i just kant lol. if it helps my headlights are valeo's and are hight adjustable beam. help lol.

p.s have window screen attacked with a hammer last nite and the standard deadlock alarm went nuts! woke whole street up! now i no it works lol.

red hot water aay use a heat gun around the bead of glue, and use a flexible blade of some description (i used a flexi scraper) to try and break the bead. valeo lights arent the best lights to split though, i managed 1 just about but it was very messy and when it came to doing the 2nd i cracked the glass lense. you will have to be very careful and patient
