Splitting 1*2 Xenon Headlamps

[S7HXX]

Hope someone can help I have searched but can not find an answer or guide I want the take the clear cover off of the Headlamps, does anybody know how to do this and what tools are needed? Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Scott.

^ Sounds scary!
Is this to get the inserts painted? if so, there would be a lot of interest in this on here

 

[Struggler]

do you mean take the outer most casing off??
if so them im watching this too

Yes I am looking to paint the inserts and to install some custom LED running lights I've seen a PH1 with painted inserts, not to keen on putting my lights in an oven though there must be another soloution.

oven is how most people on here have done it in the past, the only method i know. it's a bit stupid though i agree :rasp:

Heat gun ??

 

[Struggler]

surely the heat the oven would create,
would it not just melt the entire light?

 

[BioHzrd]

You only put it in for a short time to heat the sealent up so you can pull it appart not like your cooking the things

 

[jesus]

you don't leave it in long enough for that happen silly

I've tried it with a spare one I had lying around, the mounting brackets for the headlight start to deform before anything else. The clear parts of the headlamp that are usually glass on most cars are actually plastic on the clio, these are quite delicate too.
I wouldn't attempt it if I were you.

 

[jesus]

lol! i wouldnt attempt it either but that's how people do it :rasp:

I seriously doubt its possible to do it tbh.

read the thread! quite a few people on here have done it before

 

[Tigger]

If you found someone who HAS DONE IT before, ask them exactly how it was done

 

[Bash]

Pm these two and ask them if they done it.

I have herd it is possible to do and there are so many threads asking if its possible, you would need to put ur lights on a piece of wet cardboard on a baking tray to stop the edges melting 1st.
