I've been able to get the black bent back (probably too far) to where I can get the tiny screw driver under the lens and inside the housing to fully break the silicone, but still cannot get anything more than the bottom edge.

Yeah, I followed that to pretty much a T and still cannot get it to really come apart.

Would anyone be interested in busting these out for me? Ill potentially be in the Twin Cities this weekend. Im sure I can paint them and seal them back up myself, but I guess Im too much of a tard to get them apart.

im sure its a matter or force and confidence possibly? i have not done this on this headlight, but did a sealed fog light assembly on my old regal and it just took alot of yanking and trusting nothing will crack hahaha idk if that helps at all but it was alot harder to pull apart then i had thought it would be..

I got to that point. Hulk smash. Still nothing. I need an expert.

I'd say a fog light on a Regal might fall a bit short of a Focus HID that would cost at minimum $300.00 to replace with an aftermarket knock off and $650.00 for a new OEM assembly.
