CAN 7/02 HEADLIGHTS BE OPENED???

[aflaxplaya42]

Hey i got an 03 x5 with xenon headlights stamped 7/02 (passenger) and 8/02 (driver). I read from others that 8/02 cannot be opened, but yet to find out if 7/02 is possible?? it would be some what of a relief if I only had to get one headlight rather than two. Please get back to me asap!!!
thanks!

A very sharp exacto knife and a little heat or heat gun as you go along should do the trick. When you re-seal it though you will have to use some sort of apoxy or sealer most likely. On the earlier models you can just bake to open and close it up with no extra sealer usually.
