Help with DIY Blackhousing Headlamps

[cirsurvive711]

Well from a previous thread you may know I received the wrong type of ebay aftermarket blackhoused headlights in the mail.... http://www.6thgenaccord.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14927

Here's what I got (no blacked out corner)

I started the blackhouse project to black out the corners and here's where I'm at now...

I removed the two screws holding in the amber strip but now what? How does the clear lens separate from the metal housing? It doesn't seem to wanna budge. Maybe the sealant is still holding it together? Any input? Here's some more pics I took. Thanks.

u got it right my .....u jus gotta give it a lil tug because of the sealant between the reflector and the lenses...be careful though..on my first set of headlights i pulled a little to hard and a piece broke.....jus becareful...but ur on the right track

Thanks man.. I was thinking maybe these are a little different because theyre not OEM...

yea u got keep tugging....i broke my housing as well -.-'''


if it does break, just get some industrial glue, and that should keep it together.

i'm heatin them up again now to soften the adhesive so I can tug harder...

Thanks for all your help guys I finished the passenger side light today and here are the results.......

I didn't use any extra sealant... hope it doesnt let in condensation or whatever... I got most the tabs in the best I could
