Taking apart clear corner - how?

Well on the coupe forums, someone added a row of leds (led strip from v-leds) to their clear corner. The DIY applies to the ebay clear corners cuz the glue on them is not that strong.

The OEM clear corners... orange corners for that matter - have their lens stuck to the plastic backplate/housing with super strong glue. Does anyone have a clue how I can take them apart without cracking them?

^^ Different. Headlights have a sealant, corners actually have an adhesive. Really the only way to open corners is cut them open

Ive done the mod, I am telling you. Get a dremel, get a cutting wheel. You cut it open and reseal it with a high strengh adhesive.
