    cleared corners???

    ok, so i took my heads out today in an attempt to clear my corners, here were 800 little notches that i didnt wanna break, so i went to auto zone to see if the could do it for me, they said that if i take it apart, then the reflector is gonna be hard to get out, and that water will get inside the heads after puting it together.. any suggestions on what i should do? how did any of you guys do this?

    @OP your post is a little confusing

    I did it through the bulb hole pulled it loose, and then broke it with some needle nose pliers,
    or you can bake and separate them and then resale I can assure you that if you seal them right they won't fog or get water since I've done it myself

    You don't have to take the headlight apart. I just bent a flathead screwdriver and stuck it in the turn signal bulb hole between the headlight and reflector piece and pulled..Then break up the rest of the reflector with some sheet metal shears or whatever and shake it out like a rattle toy.

    I expected the Rocky Mountains to be a little rockier than this.

    Its Easiest to use pliers with cutters on them. U jus break reflector into 5,920,380 peices an shake em out.
