bumper mounted driving light help

I am new to the forum. I just acquired a 2010 Mayfair edition S. Can anyone tell me how these lights come apart before I break something. I can not find any info.
Also looking for a pdf repair manual if anyone can steer me in the right direction.
Thanks much.

If these are the official driving lights, and you wonder if they are broken - make sure you understand when those are supposed to turn on. After activating with the little button -
Pull the headlight stalk. They won't turn on just with the normal lights.

I got that. I need to take them apart to clean the lenses inside.
Thanks

Be careful there, the lenses aren’t meant to be removed except for replacement if broken.

Yep, they are bonded with silicone . Most people just replace the lens if they are pitted or cracked: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...63220432342kt/

This is how some people cleaned them: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...uestion-2.html
