removing light cover

hey guys, does anyone know how to remove the glass cover of the headlights. for some reason that semi clear plastic lens that covers the signal lamp has dropped and i want to put it back in place.
would appreciate some help, i know its probably something very simple, but i just dont want to break anything while trying to do it.
cheers

I don't think there is any way to do it without ruining it. If you look closely, you will see that is has some sort of glue between it and the housing all the way around, and I think it's permanently attached as well.

Too bad it's not like the older cars where you could replace just the lens, it would make it so much more practical to get rid of stone chips!

Sure there is. Steve, MBenzNL, has already explained the procedure once before. He also included his personal opinion of such and its ramifications based on the appropriate manufacturer. STFF
