Question Can you split hawkeye rear lights..?

Any one here split the rear lights to get at the chrome inner part of the lights, removed my lights and the screews all around, but did not want to come apart, did not want to force the back away from the plastic lens just incase it broke, looked at changing or swapping them for a set off a blobeye JDM but cant find any, not a fan of the chrome lights on my white car..???

Depends what they've been sealed with.

Warming with a hairdryer MIGHT do it, try warming one section and putting a knife blade into the seal, if it's softened, you'll see.
