I was at my local parts store the other day and I found this stuff called "Gasket Remover" by Permatex. Here is the info from the Permatex site:

I'm gonna try it on my lights to see if it works.

If anybody has successfully opened their post 10/02 headlights please share your experience. I am one of the desperate members with post 10/02 headlights waiting for the answer. I tried couple of solutions including baking and glue removal solvents but I did not succeed. I think we need stronger glue solvent. Just like Girardsays, I stop by advanced auto parts store to look for a solution, i also found gasket remover by Permatex but didn't buy it. I am waiting for TOOHOTDOC. Thanks

toohotdoc, i hope you have an answer when you come back. the angel eyes kits is sitting and waiting to be installed.

LOL. Same here. I'm gonna try the Permatex stuff tomorrow. Hopefully it works. If it does, I'll let you guys know.

shouldnt a hot gun do the trick and melt the sealant? Hey toohotdoc, im from van too, how about you give me your mech. or whereever you went to get the lights done, and ill talk to the guy?

tbal69, if heat gun and baking worked we woulnt be here asking and waiting for an answer. of course that didn't work, the sealant was hard. post 10/02 lights require some special procedure to open.

:( hammer? lol

any luck anyone?

no luck, still waiting for toohotdoc.

ditto. tryin to find someone in the SoCal area that might be willing to trade. no luck on that either.
