Taking apart the headlights
1) Preheat the oven to 250°F
2) Place 1 lamp at a time in the oven on a cookie tray and let soak for 15 minutes
3) Remove from oven and start prying with a flat head screwdriver or small pry bar at the point closest to the turn signal area (I've found having at least two screwdrivers or pry bars is a huge help, as you can get one through, then further down the lamp start prying with another to help open the gap)
4) After about a few minutes (3-5) of prying (don't sit there for 15 minutes trying to get it apart, the lamp will cool down too much), return the lamp to the oven for an additional 5-8 minutes
5) Pull lamp out again and keep prying
6) Repeat steps 4 & 5 until you can get a couple of fingers of each hand in between the lens and the housing and pull them apart. Once you can get a few fingers in there, you're pretty much set. Just pull gently, but firmly until the two halves pop apart.
