If you get the other Stanley knife the flexible skinny blade type you may be able to bend it round if not try fishing wire and do half at a time.Deedee91 wrote:Hmm I had no luck with that there's a lip on mine think I'll iust have to get butcheringmbonner02 wrote:I don't it with my stand ones when I got the angel eyes just for a bit of fun and they actually look quite good lol used a Stanley knife to cut the sealant and carefully prised apartDeedee91 wrote: Did you make them using depo headlights or valeos?

Re: New b
Tried it. The glue on these seems indestructible. Mike are valeos I think there is two types of headlight for the b and the easier ones are from the pre facelift.andy w wrote:I did mine in the first try mate by putting in the oven to get them split
What temp did you have the oven at?

Quickest way is to use two sets, you've no f**k about with the glue

If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: New b
Valeos are near impossible but depos are a breeze. I had a spare one of each. I do have 2 glass lenses im not using but guarenteed they would break in the post lol.

Re: New b
well found a link off google mate on how to but i changed it slightly by buildin the temp up from 50 degrees up to 180 degrees. I put them in for five min intervals at 50,80,110,150,180 and gently loosened the glue with a knife and long screw driver but like johnny says its easier his way took me about an hour todo each one. And i resealed them with tigar sealDeedee91 wrote:Tried it. The glue on these seems indestructible.

Re: New b
I've never thought of doing it that way. Good idea that though Handy if you have a second set I literally just carefully separated the lense from the light just for poo and giggles as I had the time. I used a sharpee to blacken it but you would never know. Looks just like a set of deposjohnny wrote:https://www.corsa-b.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20489
