Hey guys... I purchased a really nice set of retrofit projectors for my 6gc.... I am wondering how people have removed the glass from the headlight housing without damaging the plastic or the glass... Any help is greatly appreciated!

I used a heat gun for my retrofit! Keep the heat pointed at the glass not the plastic and SLOWLY used a flathead to pry it open.
I recommend that instead of baking or boiling, if you can, do it outside.. the oem sealant smells TERRIBLE and it likes to linger  If you need any ideas my retrofit thread is here: clicky, also feel free to PM me with any detailed questions
