08-11 LX570 Factory HID retrofit

[Harangatang]

For those of you who have actually opened your headlights to do this, how did you go about removing the lens? I've done several retrofits previously but never struggled getting a lens off this badly. Cannot even get the thing started. tia

First, remove all the screws holding the lens into the housing. Set your over to 200 degrees, let it pre-heat. Stick the whole headlight in for 10 minutes. The butyl rubber will be plenty soft enough for you to remove it fairly easily at this point.

Yep, there's nothing special about the 200 series. 08-15 are butyl sealed so normal methods work fine. Size is the only contraint, I've opened via heat gun and oven.
