Default Lens removal...searched.

Im getting condensation in one of my headlights so I decided to open em up, clean em, and remove the orange reflector. Only problem is, Im not 100% about where the line I seperate them is at. I've already ran a search using "headlamp" "headlight" "remove headlight" "headlight removal" "lens" and didnt find exactly what I was looking for. Can anyone tell me, or better yet, show me a picture of where I seperate the lens from the housing? Im pretty sure I know where but i'd just like someone elses 2cents. Much appreciated.

see the metal clips on the lights? there are a few spread out around the top and sides of the light, take those off and when you heat the light up it will separate right there.

not sure if you have opened lights before but goodluck, first time i tried i failed horribly, i had the heat way to high and melted the whole thing. haha

I did it on my last car. Finally figured it out after tryin it a couple times. Only issue I have is heatin it back up enough to stay soft and put in the new silicone. If moisture keeps gettin in, maybe its time to get jdm lights
