Headlight access 172

Has anyone tried seperating the clear lens from the black backing plastic on a Xenon headlight for a 172 Ph 2? The white plastic locators that adjust the ride height are broken so I need to get them apart to fix.

Howsit?

The headlights are a 'sealed unit' ie glued shut very securely. Someone - i think M4D MAX on here - butchered 2 to paint inside of 1 finished one.

I managed to push the reflective part off its lugs so it's loose inside, i bought a new unit to replace it (not cheap :dapprove: ).

Yes, I know they are not cheap. About 450 pounds each on this side of the world. That's why I want to seperate and fix them as they are both damaged.
