My brother too his lights apart on his fiesta to "detango" his indicator.

As far as I remember he just used a hair dryer or heat gun to remove the front glass.

Having said that, this is a Ford were talking about so they were probably assembled with pritt stick anyway.

Was thinking of doing my non-cupra ones grey like a Cupra, but I've only got single beam headlights so it might look a little weird.

I got a spare headlight and tried this but it would not come apart using a heat gun so think the oven route would be needed.

Can be easily done just have to sit and check the seal every 5mins. Just needs alot of patience.

something I plan to do in the future when can get som spare headlights for obvious reasons lol
