Headlight uncrimp?

(1/2) > >>

Woodside:
Has anyone ever managed to uncrimp a headlight.
It's not on a honda but an xt500

I have broken the glass...these things happen.
Can you uncrimp and pop in a new glass
The later ones have park lights or are sealed units...
I just need to swap the glass over
Anyone tried and if so was it successful

Bryanj:
Yes and not so sucessfull sorry

Woodside:
Hmmm what went wrong ..

Moorey:
Can you put up a pic of the type of unit you mean.

Orcade-Ian:
Can you see the rim edge when it’s installed in the chrome rim?  The reason I ask is that it may be possible to carefully slice through the edge where the sealant is and simply glue it back in with something like Sikaflex which will both seal and adhere well to the surfaces.  If it’s tooled smooth before it goes off it might be acceptable unless cosmetics are very important.
