Most modern cars have installed headlights, which combine several lamps under one body at once. To carry out headlight tuning or to perform various actions, it is often necessary to disassemble such headlights.
Instructions
Step 1
To start work, you need to remove the headlight, because it is easier and more convenient to carry out all actions on a disconnected device. Removing headlights on different cars is done differently: somewhere for this you have to remove the bumper, and somewhere just unscrew a few bolts. Look carefully at the operation for the repair of your car, where it is clearly written how to properly remove the headlight.
Step 2
Remember to always disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to ensure safe work. After the headlight is in your hands, carefully examine it for chips, cracks and abrasions. If there are defects, it is better to purchase a new glass in advance in order to replace it after disassembly.
Step 3
Place the headlamp in the oven to melt the sealant between the glass and the headlamp housing. Choose the temperature as you like, being careful not to melt the glass. At the slightest sign of melting, turn off the oven and quickly remove the headlight from there. Then pick up a thin strip from a metal saw and use it to remove the material that sticks the glass and plastic together. This can be done with any sharp object such as a knife or nail.
Step 4
If you are afraid to melt the headlight in the oven, then try heating it with a hair dryer. When detaching the glass, carefully take out the reflector and other parts you need. Carefully check the health of the contacts and lamps inside the headlight. You can also disassemble the headlight if you carefully cut off the upper part of the plastic groove into which the glass is inserted, and then, picking up the glass with a knife, disassemble the headlight. When reassembling the headlamp, use a clear sealant or good quality glue to secure the glass.
Step 5
Do not forget about the observance of safety measures - you perform all actions at your own peril and risk.
