Anyone got any idea how to get the housing apart on the IS200 rear fog lights? Do they need to go in the oven?

******. Okay, thanks chaps. They look as if they are overlapped with the plastic case underneath, so I don't think a dremel is going to leave them in a usable state.

I'll have a crack at putting them in the oven first, they are my spare pair anyway. There are two small tabs that look as if they lock it in place when it was sealed originally.

Will report back...

Fair enough. I assume some silicon sealant will do the job of fixing them back together?
