I pulled mine apart the other week to do the black bezels. Some people say put it in the oven others use heat guns etc. I used a hair dryer because thats all I had and the oven was too small. Just basically heat up the black glue around the outsides and pull it apart then heat it up again and melt it back together. If you're using an oven be careful not to melt the headlight :

Speak to The Dok. He owns and runs the headlight hospital and will be able to help you out.
