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!

That's sometimes an issue with them. It's not the end of the world. You can paint the housing black or body coloured, or paint them in a metallic finish that looks similar to the original.
