I want to put led's in my headlights, as it seems there is space for them. I have
read somewhere on this forum, that to separate the lens, you put the headlamp
assembly in the cooker to melt the glue. Gas mark 8 for twenty minutes?? Does
it not melt the plastic lens? (Obviously not ) how long do you leave it in for? Can
it be done with a paint stripper? How long do you have when you take it out
before the glue re-sets? What do you reseal it with? .....Is it successful??

Does it work on Freelander lights? I tried on a scrap pair (at 200 F not C) and nothing. Have heard that the glue is not a thermoplastic style one that softens when heated, so can't be done? 2016 BMW X3 30d SE in red

I was removing the lenses to spray the grey on the 2011 light black...
Did think about doing a DLR mod,, but changed my mind for this reason ........... Go to all that trouble removing the lenses and fitting the LED lights and after a while LEDs start to malfunction and your left with headlights with light strips with bulbs out and your left with removing the lenses again to remove the strip

I work with LEDs in work and its a common fault BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders

I found this to be the problem myself Andrew the glue wasn't going soft, if anything it seemed to harden the hotter it got...  BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders
