    you must have a hair dryer. use that . i did (not mine obviously). worked fine spend 10-15 minutes on the seal all the way round . and prize them apart . dont try and prize them apart too early . same crack putting them together. heat up the glue on both edges even move the glue about abit. sweet.

    i didnt use any glue. i suppose you could use tigerseal. the factory glue stays on the rim but cools down and goes hard. you just reheat it and it goes gooey again, then you push the lights back together and put the clips on

    the information ive given you is only the way i done mine. dont hold me responsible if you mess it up . take your time and let the paint dry before you try and put it together.
    there is someone on here selling the lights painted . have a look
