How to remove headlight lens?

My headlights have a crazy amount of crazing from the inside. Can’t do anything about it so looking at options. Got one side headlight for 60 bucks; rather than coding lights, thinking of just taking off the lens and gluing it back on. Anyone done this? I did this on the R56, heat gun and some butyl and it’s easy, but what about the F56 LED lights, any experience?

We got the solution: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ht-lenses.html

F56 headlights also have little clips on the side that need undone. Buts its the same thing as the R56.

Info is linked on the product to do the job, some people just use a head gun so they dont have to bake the light. If you bake remove as much or the electronics from the outside. Ballast, etc
