is it possible to remove the lens from the brightlights without totaly destroying the lens? Cause I got brights, one with a bad lens and one with a bad casing, i just wana take the lens off one and switch it onto the other one. I tried practicing removing it on the lens that was already broken, but i couldn't do it without cracking the lens even more. I don't want to mess up on the good lens,
 is this possible or am I just going after a lost cause? help anyone?

Pop the entire headlight assembly into the oven. Keep checking it. Once the black rubber stuff starts getting soft, take out the headlight and use a putty knife and pry it off at different points.
