Default How to open 97 sc300 fog light.. help please

I want to restore the lenses on my fogs and headlight because they are yellow and foggy and I was trying to take the lense off the flog lights and I am having some problems. I took the whole assembly off the car and put it on the oven at 300 degrees for like 3-4 minutes like I read in another post. I can not seem to get the lense off no matter what I try. I feel like im going to screw up the plastic housing if I keep trying. I pryed up the plastic around the edges about half an inch deep but I cant tell how far back the edge of the lense goes. Is it all one large piece or something because it doesnt seem like it wants to seperate or budge from the rest of the assembly. Can anyone give me any tips or even better some pictures? Thanks!

You don't have to take off the lens to clear the yellowing.

You need to sand and wax it.

If you really have to, bake it up to 10 mins at 295. Pry the lens off where the litle clips are, use 3-4 flat heads if you have to.

I finally got it out after fighting with it for a while. I couldn't tell if there was any dirt or anything on this inside. Once I finish this side ill see if I need to take the other one off. Thanks.
