Headlights you're going to end up cutting, that dark gray goop they used is tough and heat won't touch it.... Not sure if they used the same sealant on the tail lights.

Look in the "How To" section, IIRC some members did this with pics & tips..

But cutting is gonna be involved.. I'd use a wizz wheel..

i cut my tails open with a dremel. and with the headlights i heated them in the oven to get them hot enough where the plastic would bend out of the way to pry them apart.
