Right guys I been researching as much as possible but if anyone else can give me more please do :)

 

Anyway I'm gonna attempt to detango my pre-facelift headlights what I know so far;

 

1. Heat gun or oven bake lights to split them

2. 2 screws inside to remove bezel to get to reflector.

3. Remove reflector and replace with clear or light dusting with paint or tint

4. Reverse removal and add sealant to ensure no condensation

 

Pics I've borrowed from 350z usa site

Yep that's pretty much what I did when I changed to clear reflectors a few years ago, use a heat gun though as I melted one of my lenses when it touched the oven shelf! Also use some sealant around the outer edge when reassembled just to make sure. :thumbs:
