I would never to it this way.All you guys are doing is damaging the headlight.The best way is just to open the headlights.Stabbing the reflector will look ugly after your done.Just do it right the first time.Use a heat gun or put it in the oven.There are thread on how to do this.Please stop stabbing the reflectorsThank you.

Cracking the piece is the easiest way to do it, but I do agree that it will scratch the insides a lil. Its a small risk compared to heating it up or putting it in the oven.

You guys should do what you want here, I don't want to make it an argument. I already have mines cleared so the person who choses to do it should decide carefully on which way to do it.

i know i was going to have scratches, but i did it anyway, because its less time consuming then popping it in the oven and resealing it perfect, then finding out you left out a spot and now have condensation.
