use a narrow dremel tool to cut the backs away from the glass, paint the insides and bond them both back together

'depo's have the clips which you remove and then heat the glue. same as the 'lucas' ones.
the ones that dont have any clips are harder to take apart.
the term diy depo means you paint the non smoked ones inside unless you buy the ones that are already smoked inside.
if you take a set of 'valeo' ones apart which are the ones that dont come apart easily, smoke them etc etc then you have a set of smoked valeos. its the name on the headlight people refer to.

IIRC there is 2 sets of standard headlights, Valeo and Depo.
I had valeo's on my green corsa and couldn't split them at all, and ended up breaking both of them, managed to get a set of normal clear depo headlights from my local scrappy and where easy to split, just take the metal clips off and heat up the glue and off they popped.

I meant standard headlights, Im aware there is many different aftermarket headlights, but was only aware of Valeo and Depo being the standard options? Is there more?
