Default seperating lights???

just as stated above...is there a special way to seperate the corner lenses so i can paint the inside amber? i heard that you can bake them in the oven to get the stock glue to melt...anyone tried this? please let me know before i ruin my OEM lenses...thanks....

Some people bake their lights some boil them.....

put it on bake not broil, set to 250 degrees, lay some tinfoil on the rack, place rack in center of oven, set timer to 5 minutes, watch item closely when baking them to be sure not to melt em. After 5 minutes pull them out and pry apart, you may have to coax them with a screwdriver in the seam, sometimes not..

reassembly is backwards of assembly, bake again, and press together till its cool.
