Depo black headlights housing

Heat doesn't touch the factory glue, higher melt temp than the plastic from what I've read, so cut/pry and basically bust off the whole flange on the back piece. I got one apart and couldn't use my hands for several days...... still had the glue to remove before starting the mod...... Then came the flood, 5 1/2 feet of water in my basement. Project is dead now, so it was a waste of a good set of lights and my $$$. Sorry man.... no joy for the lights. (Truth... I don't even know where in that mess the complete light is, my basement is that trashed!)
I was just warning guys about the factory lights, I've read the aftermarkets are easier to take apart as the oven trick works. (different glue)

I wouldn't brag about having owned a big dog, the name is fitting, they ain't all that.. Did repairs on some, & they cut corners many places..

Does anyone else have the same problem I do with my headlights? Rather than an even field, the light is scattered in patches in front of me. The light from the fog lamps is evenly spread, and I tend improve the effect by using my fog lamps at night in addition to my low beams. Together, the lower area is lit evenly from the fog lamps and the remaining scattered area toward the top looks almost "normal." My girlfriend's HHR has a much more even light distribution pattern from her factory headlights. Is there a lot of variability here or is something wrong with my headlights' reflectors?
I suggest using the allen. The Phillips can trash the opening.

Back around the 1890's early 1900's they used a terracotta block... (pre cinderblock) with mortar between. The water was half way up the exposed blocks and pouring through the closed windows at that point, I was watching stuff flow by. Sure, improvements could be made to my basement, but this was a flood, so improvements wouldn't mean squat..... I still would have had 5+ feet of water.
