Hello

Today i tried to open my headlights to put angel eyes and i couldn't. The guy said that the headlights are glued with silicone . He used the gun with warm air (i don't know the name but he didn't succed.

Check the date stamp on the headlights. Anything from around Aug/Sep 2002 and on are "sealed"!
