How to open car headlights.

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Headlight

There are two types of front headlights: those with thermoplastic adhesive that can be easily opened with a heat gun, and those that are electro-welded, which the YouTuber addresses in this video. You will need a cardboard box with a hole made on one side, where you will place the headlight inside for about 15 minutes. Do this outdoors and do not use your home oven! Now, use a screwdriver and a utility knife to remove the adhesive while it is still warm. If you want to paint, sand it down and then apply a silicone remover, followed by primer. Allow it to dry and then apply a second coat. Remember that the paint should be applied within half an hour, or it won't adhere properly. The first coat should be very light; it's better to apply multiple coats. Reassemble using polymer adhesive in the groove, ensuring you only apply it inside. Then, reattach the tabs, and there's no need to heat it.

This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
