Hey, you guys that are in Kuwait, where exactly are you located? I'm in Iraq right now but will be staying at the Holday Inn in Salmiya on the 5-7. Would love to check out your cars in person if you are close.

I would only suggest a heat gun for the seasoned DIY's -- it's too easy to melt things with those things. Wrapped in moist towel and placed in an oven at 225 degrees for 10-12 minutes should be enough to melt the adhesive enough to pry the lens off.

I've been a civilian contractor for the last 3 1/2 years. I actually lived in Salmiya (Al nouf apartments behind McDonalds by Marina Mall) for about 8 months. I've had enough and finally taking my butt back home. So are you guys american or what? How long you been in Kuwait? Sorry to intrude.
