Default MY01 Detango headlights

I've read all the posts on detango'ing a blobeye model but how about the bugeye model? Is it the same as the blobeye?

Thanks

One of the Dorset lad's used a long nose set of plier's and broke the orange bit up and extracted it through the bulb holder hole,worked a treat.

Brilliant idea.... now why didn't I think of that !!!

I want to detango myself, but the idea of heating up the lens in the oven just had "your going to **** this up" written all over it Off to find my pliers.

If your going to break them up be careful of scratching the delicate reflective surface. I tried that method, saw I was marking the surface and put them in the oven instead. I view that as the best way of carrying out a de-tango.

Not got round to it yet. My wife has just had a little girl so I've been a bit busy.
If you like I'll take a few photos and a brief run down of any problems I run into when I do it.
