has anyone taken apart a JDM integra headlight?
Well, I finally got the headlight off my car, now I need to figure out how to take the thing apart. I am cleaning it up (getting dirt, etc. out of the housing) and also installing 2 strobe lights. There is very limited room to install the strobes w/out taking the housing apart. I can put one in the outside corner no problem, and the other one will either go in place of the fog bulb (inner part of headlight) or in the same section as the high beam. Either way, I need to take the entire headlight assembly apart to be able to cut the hole. Any suggestions? I have already removed the clips, but not sure what to do next. I don't want to f*ck anything up as they are JDM and worth $$$.

Get a heat gun from your local hobby store. Its pretty straightfoward after that. just heat up an area and pry it apart with a flat screwdriver. Did this a few weeks ago with my DA 1 pieces.

Preheat oven to 350, turn it off, and then put headlight inside on a pan for about 10 minutes, works perfectly. Be sure to strip off any rubber pieces or anything else from the outside that you can get off before putting it in there. Search for headlight baking if you need more help, there's lot's of threads and how-to's on it.
