Can post them but unsure how much it would be with Royal Mail or courier as I've never posted a box before lol. I just split the standard ones and painted black. Looks good but it is fiddily lol

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.

I only learned how to do that as my mate did the fishing wire trick on his saxos headlights when he self depo'd them

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.

What temp did you have the oven at?

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

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.

That was my plan. I've had a little mess about now I'm just gonna butcher them n epoxy them back together

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 seal

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 depos
