Yeah be REALLY careful, I cracked the housing on my 02' headlight it wasnt really noticeable but it did suck. In the end I just ditched them and bought a set of halos.

I cracked a small piece off on mine, but I made sure when sealing it back up to use some more silicone in that stop but you cant even tell with the hood down.
You dont have to pry the lense off with the first pass. Work around the lip SLOWLY and you'll be ok. Dont get over anxious. If it takes you 3 passes with the knife before the lense pops off, so what. And you can always throw it back into the oven for 5 minutes after you've worked it out for 2-3 passes. Again, just take your time and you'll be alright.
