Remove the 4 metal clips from each headlight and then place them in the oven at 200degrees for 20min. Take a butter knife and run it down the seam between the lens and the housing. Pry slightly, but be careful as the plastics are brittle and will break. If it's not coming off, put in the over another 5min.

That's the method I used when I did the Whistler mod and it worked well enough.

^^^ What they said about the oven. Here's a more detailed how-to as found in the sticky "Appearance Hall of Fame" at the top of this folder.
