I butchered a set of pre-facelift headlights trying to get the lenses off. I didn't want to risk doing the same thing to the original headlights so i ditched the project. Seems like the permaseal headlights do not come apart like other headlights i've done. usually just bake them for 15 min and they pry open with little force. the ones i was working on, no matter how badly i butchered them, just didn't want to come apart. The housings were garbage by the time i was done with them. i was hoping the facelifted headlights were not sealed like some of the pre-facelifts.

there was someone recently that had success. they also reported having a tough time, but a heat gun and patience they were able to get it done.

are you installing LED Halos?
