Yep.. I did that for a Honda man (ricer) the other day.. Just need to soften the glue when some heat then pry it open. Don't leave it unattended while it "baking" our else it will melt if it stay to long :lol:

if you're afraid to do it yourself (it's easy to mess up in an oven) you can check Shaun at Street Concepts in Arima he's probably opened hundreds of headlights and fogs to paint/do halos/strobes/repair from moisture
