Question Question????

I have a little project in mind that has to do with my turn signals, but i have hit a bump. Hopefully you guys can help me out.

How should i go about removing the lens from the inner part of the turn signal. I know that they are glued pretty well but i need some ideas on how to separate it.
Thanks

Actually, I am a littel on the lazy side and I want them to just take them apart for me. I am planning on something a little different. I'll let you guys know once I get them apart and done.

YNVDIZW124: Did you heat them up or just pried them open?

Well bosch lights are pretty easy to take apart so i just pried them open...aftermarket ones could maybe break...i have smoked the outside and the reflector but i didn't like the look...what i would do is be really careful and heat up the screwdriver on your stove and open them like that...
