Getting to headlights?

[arbormon]

I have the 05 900 anniversery and I just noticed that one of the orange reflectors in the headlight assembly is not glued down anymore. So my question is how to get into the headlights so I can reglue this thing?
Thanks

Have fun I just did that to my sled. Those reflectors are junk and keep falling off even if you get a new headlight. I used a heat gun and a couple screwdrivers to take it apart and broke both reflectors off and repainted everything but the buckets themselves black. It is a pain but those reflectors will break bulbs and scratch everything up flying around in there.

Breaking bulbs is my primary concern but busting the housing getting to it is another. How does one get in there short of prying on the whole thing with a screw driver? I am a master of creating problems while trying to fix one

It will come apart with heat and prying but it is a pain. Short of that you can take bulbs out -reach in there with needle nose a break apart loose reflector. Take long screwdriver to the other one and break it free and do the same thing. But there is no way to put them on without taking headlight apart. I just left the holes in mine where the reflectors were.

"It will come apart with heat and prying but it is a pain."
This is a major understatement. LUBA I took your advice and needlenosed them out. My hat is off to you for even trying to get in there.
