Default How-to: remove lens from headlight

this is probably on here already but could someone let me know a way to remove the lens on the front of the headlight, i bought a used one but the lens is scratched and i want to swap it with my light that the back bracket is broken on because the lens on that one is mint

also i don't want to break any of the front clips on it

Preheat your oven to 250. Place it on a cookie sheet and put the headlight in for about 7 minutes. Take it out and use a flat screwdriver to pray it apart.

Do not preheat the cookiesheet

Pop everything back in the oven to head the glue up again, then press them together.
