I done it last week m8 , although i live in Airdrie . its pretty straight forward headlights out put in oven on a low heat for about 5-10 mins then break into the glued seal , remove the orange plastic put lights back in oven and reseal the halved units .

if its a bug m8 because if it is you can just pop the indicator into the housing and break it up just becarful not to scratch the reflector.

i have done 3 now and used side cutters to break it up and it works a treat. Its a bit more hassle but your not breaking the seal

I just did mine today and it wasnt that bad!

There are loads of write ups on the web of how to do it.

I used a hair dryer rather than the oven and they came apart no problem.
