you need to heat them up mate then they will split they are stuck together with some kind of apoxy, stick em in the oven at 90oC for 10 mins just keep checking on them every min to make sure they are not melting lol then do the same to seal them back together

dont need to split them m8, i done 3 sets now.

just push the orange platics into the lens and get a long set of side cutters then just keep cutting them into small bits until you can get it out. Just take care not to scratch the back reflector

Think I'll give that a go. Got to be better than sticking in oven

Done my old ones, they melted a bit lol. They're still in 2 prices and haven't had time to stick them back together. I pulled mine apart when it was hot, and had help with a pallet knife lol
