Hi folks. Anyone ever take apart their headlight? The adjusting mechanism inside has come apart allowing the reflector to move around inside. If i can get it apart I can fix it and avoid buying another.
It has 3 metal clips holding the glass to the plastic and some type of adhesive holding it together. I tried prying it apart with a screwdriver and already flaked off a chunk of glass. I thought i'd check here before I completely destroy it. Any help would be greatly apprecciated
Thanks
Derek
I was thinking along the same lines many years back for the same reason. I don't think there is any way to open up the light without destroying the lens. I opted to picked up another light assembly used from a forum member for fairly cheap.
Perhaps a heat gun and a putty knife. A screwdriver is probably not a very good prying tool on glass.

+1. Not tried an FJ but this works for composite car headlight housings. I have a headlight and fairing stay/brace/frame off an '89 I think, '86 likely different?Doug
