This not for the faint of heart! It takes time for inexperience and finese for experience.

Tools required:
1. Two stage heat gun.
2. one paint metal paint scrapper ( pretty stiff one should cost 5.00 to 6.00 dollars). Lowes carryes the red handle one which I used.
3. Scotch brite for painting
4. Your favorite color
5. Sealer

First: Remove the headlight bucket from the front end by either removing the front end plastic or looseing the top of the front end from under the hood. Remove the two fasteners that hold the headlight assembly to the front frame. Take the bulbs out!!!

Second put a piece of cardboard under the headlight with the clear plastic facing down. Heat the tabs that hold the flat clips from clear plastic lense to the black housing. Bend them up when hot! Take the heat gun and set to high. Heat the lower inside corner to the top inside corner and place the paint scrapper tool between the black plastic and clear plastic pry out ( pushing towards the black housing). This may take two or three heat sessions. @ 1 to 2 minutes. Heat the clear lense and black housing. Keep prying. Once you get it started work to the bottom of the light housing. This is were a paint scrapper is easier than a flat head screw driver! Once you have popped one whole side out using heat and the scrapper you can then just pull with your bare hands. Using heat and working the attached lense. It took me about 20 -30 minutes each head light. Remember keep appling heat evenly on the area that you are pulling out. The glue will actually loosing up and you will not melt the black housing. Take your time!!!!!!!! Do not use the oven!!! You can centralize the heat with the heat gun!!!!

3. I cleaned the glue out of the groove useing the scrapper heat and razor. Re-seal using a good Silcone after you have completed the painting process. Apply heat during the re-sealing process. I lightly sanded the area that I was sealing. In my mechanical experience a semi-rough surface will help with attaching silcone to two objects and heat will help make the surface soft and the silcone a little runny to stick in all the nooks and cranies.
