How to open car headlights.

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Headlight

Video tutorial

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.
