Is it possible to remove the head light glass from a corsa front light? Brought a pair of Depo's but despite been advertised on ebay as been mint one has had the bottom clip snapped off. I presume the glass is just bonded in place and held in position with the metal clips as the glue sets?

yer your right, if you want the glass off, just heat them in the oven for a while, take the clips off then prise them off.

and do the oppsoite to put them back together.
