Default Details on Opening A Corner Light?

I've searched, and found a couple of old posts about this but none have really anwsered it. I ve tried a heat gun, and oven method but none seem to loosen the silicone glue/epoxy holding it together, and the housing starts to melt so i cant leave it in longer, its a plastic lense and plastic housing clear corner.. any other ideas? or anybody accomplished this?, thanks

Hmmm.....

Acually, I just posted this because I want to keep track of this thread. I'm wanting to do this to my tail lights, so I would like to know the answer also.

i've open up my friends del sol front corner lights, it was easly, i just took a screw driver and it cracked open, then i unscrewed the orange cap thats inside it, and super glue it back together..
i guess from all the years of weather, the seal of the corner light was weak.

I have tried with 2 sets for my crx. Both broke.
They are just so old and weathered. I have a pair of clear ones apart right now.
When I am done with them I will post some pics.
