Very carefully!!! It is a pain and you need to be patient, I ran a stanley knife through the putty seal then inserted flat wide screwdrivers to pry the two halfs apart, as and when they start to seperate run the blade through again. Be carefull applying preassure to pry the 2 halfs apart as you can crack the lens. If I remember correctly the glass sits in a "U" channel in the plastic section so your knife will only go in a few mm until the glass is free of the U channel, once you pass this point the knife can pass through the putty and the two halfs will seperate. You then need to clean all the putty off which again is a pain and time absorbing. Then clean the reflectors, mask the bulb/lens and spray the reflector. I used a Plasti-cote primer for plastics and finished with a Plasti-cote fast dry chrome effect. I then used an exterior grade white silicone to seal the lens, my thoughts there were exterior silicones are subject to direct sunlight/heat etc. Ive had them done a few years now, no leaks and still look pretty good if I say so myself. I had thought of keeping them white but glad I went chrome. If you pm me an e-mail Ill send some pics across as I still struggle to reize pictures sufficiently for this site.
