So who knows how to swap
 
A s14 kouki headlight lense to another headlight? As you guys know my SH#T got busted in ups well I got another headlight but the guy tried to install hid's and messed up everything so the headlights useless but the headlight lense is perfect, but my busted headlight that came in ups
Just needs a lense and everything will be done for my conversion. Can anyone help me do it I've removed the silver clips and everything but the lense won't budge.
WILLING TO PAY SOMEONE TO DO IT!!!!

preheat oven to 300 and bake them so the sealant gets hot and sticky, then pry apart, replace the lense and then put back together with a small aounbt of black RTV to ensure the seal....I would do some research on how long to bake it though as I don't remember the times....should be able to find it if you search removing headlight lense??

Its doesnt take long, just a minute or so in the oven.

And instead of black RTV, they have clear window sealer just for this. Its like 2$ at advance/auto zone. Used it when blacking out my 929 housings, never had a leak.

Thanks for the info guys. I was told to use a heat gun like when you roll your fenders and just keep going around the headlight but I did some research and you gotta set the oven to 200 deg. Then shut your oven off wait 5mins put the headlight in for 10mins and shoul pull apart.
