Taking apart headlights on a 99

[Hayes90]

So i previously owned a VW Jetta and i took apart headlights, and painted inside black. (Euro look)



Now that i have my qx4, i tried doing the same. Nothing will work. I soaked in burning hot water, used a heat gun, used spatchulas and flat heads... they WILL NOT come apart.

Has anyone ever gotten theirs apart.. and HOW.

I took the fog lights apart. just popped them in the oven at 350 for a few minutes and pried them apart. I'm assuming its the same because it looks like the same sealant.

Hmm, never thought of trying that. hopefully a cake doesnt come out when im done

Or, hopefully one does. Either way it's a win-win situation.

I agree.

I'm surprised the heat gun didn't work though. I'm pretty sure that's how NickD85 here got his apart. Everyone else here (to my knowledge) have used the oven method.

so what do you think.. about 3 minutes? what should i put them on

i did five minutes on 350 and just put them on a cookie tray. didn't smell quite as good as cookies tho haha.
