Thanks.

If you are able take a strap and a towel to tighten and preassure the glass evenly then putting the clips are a hell of a lot easier

You can order it online it's always been plastic not glass designed to protect pedestrians. Dealerships and auto parts stores only sell the entire light which is $2000-$3000!!!! Lens covers online are $50-$100. I think I'm just going to buy the cover and hire a mechanic to do it. Hopefully charges me $40 or so for 1 hour labor.

Where can I buy those lens?? Can you send me in the right direction.

I have a 2010 E-350 bi-xenon curvelight. i've been using a 1000F heat gun for 2 days and can't budge the lens cover. Could this be the newer glue and do you have any suggestions? Also there were no clips holding the cover. Thanks

It's far easier to get a cardboard box big enough for the light to comfortably fit in , put the light in the box and seal it up , cut a hole roughly 4 inches round in one corner, place the heat gun in the entrance to the hole and leave it on for about 15 minutes, making sure the light isn't in direct fire of the heat gun , take it out of the box, should be hot but the lens will come of easily 👍

Warm uo the seal all the way around. Then in the narowest corner jeep heating up and try to slowly widen the gap. I am talking about just few mm. Once you have thise few mm the from that point keep warming up in one side and another and alowly keep going. Otherwise you vlcan try to put entire headlight into Owen warming up to 100 degrees but tgat comes up with varioua risks.

if your is butyl you can put it in the oven in 15min at 90degC, push butyl a bit better than this guy, preheat 15min at 90degC. once assembled spray with washing liquid, block vents and blow air inside to check if its correctly sealed

I got to agree with you. Have a broken e class W213 and I tried a heat gun. It started to burn the plastic. Tried a hairdryer. Again it did not budge. The only way it was pulling apart from buy smashing up each section and manually pulling out the the glass and glue. I tried with all my might to try and pull it apart. Even when heated the glue is still like rubber. Thinking maybe this doesnt work on all lights. This light looks older but it also looks like it may have been resealed previously.
