Lens removal
Madmods,
I recently bought a set of used Litronic headlights that have badly scratched lenses and would like to transfer all of the parts to my original headlight frames which have excellent lenses. My problem is removing the lens. I read your steps, thanks for the work on your part, and tried to remove one of the lenses from the used set. I applied the heat from the heat gun to the case rather than the lens, thinking a melted lens would not be what I wanted. I heated all around the case until it was hot to the touch, about 20 minutes worth. I tried to pry and nothing was loose. Heated for another 15 minutes and still nothing. Tried ten more and prying with what I thought was a lot of force I finally got some movement. Then I realized I could not find a good pry point. The lens was soft and I ended up scratching the under side of the outer lens ring. I did get the lens removed but made it pretty much useless. Any thoughts on how I might do better?
Jim
