SO FRUSTRATING

Yes I've read the one or two articles and I followed the "heat,pry,heat,pry" instructions to a tee. There is just so much weatherstripping that the front lens will not come off. I'm afraid If I pry any harder I'll crack something.

I'm not sure if I should:
a) cut my losses and put it back together and forget about it.
b) try CEE or Umnitza, although I doubt they'll want to touch a headlight that's already been messed with.
c) keep going until I either get it off or break it.

Thought this would be an easier DIY
