outer glass on headlights

Does the outer glass/plastic come off the headlights? I see one of my rings around one of the lights (the top corner one) is a little off and needs to be straightened out. how do I get to this? they are xenon lights and I was told to be carefull not to touch anything since it would electrecute me!
thanks for your help!

S430 Sold :(
yes they come off you would need to pull out the entire light which is a few screws and a little pulling here and there. Once they are out there are tabs that pull up with a flat head screwdriver. becareful not to pull out or damage the gasket. good luck

does anyone have a diagram or a more specific way of getting to the inside light assembly? I tried to remove the plastic outer part but I think I'm doing something wrong.
thanks

I'd be interested in the diagram as well.
