Quick S14 headlight question

[drifties151]

the name says it all, i have my 95-96 zenki headlights chillin' in my kitchen right now, im looking to do a little something funky to them. installing HID's and i am painting the housing black. Now, then i have the 4 clips off each headlight... i can't seem to seperate the "yellow" lenses (for lack of better words cuz my brain is fried after school) and the black housing. Some quick advice would be helpful, these are just experimental headlights but they need to somewhat function properly when im done. Thaks alot! :D

you shouldnt seperate the covers, they are sealed with silicone with the housing, clips are there just to make sure silicone doesnt unglue. if you do remove covers you should reseal them after you are done.

remove metal clips, preheat your oven to 250F...stick the headlights in for 5 minutes once the oven has heated...remove the headlights and you will easily be able to remove the plastic lens....sand and polish the plastic....put some rtv gasket on the lens and the housing and press together...stick in oven for another 5 minutes, take out and let cool, put back on metal clips...depending on how good a job you did sanding and polishing, your headlights will look brand new

INDY, thanks alot for the info, i'll be sure to get some b4 and after pics of my project, i already went through all the polishing, these headligths are so sh!tty, but its worth experimenting on broke ones first. thanks once again!
