painting it?
well anyway put it in the oven at like 120 f and watch it till the seal starts to get soft on the headlight then you can pull it apart. dont burn yourself they get hot.

Yes, or you can use a heatgun. but i found the oven to be easy. you just need to heat up the headlight cauking so you can pull the light apart. There are many ways to do it, you just have to get it hot.
