how did you get the lens off?

I've struggled tonight to get the lens off one light by submersing it in hot, and I mean hot, water. This has worked when I did it on the mazda I had but it doesnt seem to shift the good old BMW adhesive.

Have I got to sue a paint stripping heat gun or are there other ways to get the lens off, cheers!!

did mine with a hair dryer...took ages though...

i scrapped at the glue to form a crack, and then continued heating...then scraping it again..and so on....took me ages, but got them open!

still lying about somewhere

I used a heatgun to do mine,well done 2 sets actually!
Patience is the key word when doing them,takes about 10-15 minutes to remove each lense

i popped them in the oven. 180°c for 20 mins with the lenses downwards. they then simply pop off.

the glue comes off the lenses without scratching if you use petrol and fine scotchbrite
