Time to dismantle the sealed light unit

1. Before starting, look carefully to see how the outer lens lines up with the light assembly !

2. Remove the black "eyebrow" piece (look for 3 simple "barb" fittings)

3. Cut around the outside of the light* - the red outer lens will then just drop off.

4. Unhook the 4 "barbs" at the back of the unit and push the middle moulding off the backing piece. It will need a bit of levering as it's a tight fit.

5. Note how the wires are routed then unclip the circuit board and remove it from the light.


Tips* :
I cut around the red outer lens (using a Dremel cutting tool) so I could remove it gently.
Expect it to crack if you try remove it using too much force, or if you try to use a knife or lever instead of cutting it loose.
