I need a how to on removing headlightsfromthe car and also how to take the lense/plastic off if possible without damage so i canjuss pop themright back in. Itskind of tough to explain what i will be doingbut here is a shot at it, i will be painting the inner
backpart of theheadlight -theblack plastic area u can see between the two openings, torch red. I sawanother yellow stang withthem paintedand thought it will look good with my redwith black color combo.Any help wouldbe greatly appreciated.

 

The bumper has to come off to get the headlight out, and the actual headlight itself is a sealed unit. The plastic cover on the headlight is glue in. It can be rmeoved with some heat and elbow grease, but is not a quick job. I have seen some threads on what people did to get the plastic lense out, and it varies from using a oven to heat them up a bit, to using a heat gun.

I happened to luck out awhile back and purchased from a guy in the forums, a virgin set of headlights, with the plastic lense not yet glued in. One side was a complete light, and the other is missing the reflector. i purchased a broken headlight, so that I can tear it a part, and get the reflector out, and put together a complete set. I will then paint the inside plastic piece to match my body color. Just haven't gotten around to doing it yet.
