QUESTION: Painting my headlights today
I managed to remove the headlights. I'm having a tough time figuring out how to separate the lens from the main black housing. I found three screws that looked relevant. the little tab-catches are hardened plastic - broke one using a screwdriver thinking it was pliable. I found the Oracle video but he seemed to skip over the step where I'm stuck. Any help is appreciated.

thanks for the suggestion, but I think that I need to see an actual lexus headlight to get over this speed bump. I must not be using the right 'search words'

It's easy to open the headlights, all you have to do is take the three screws on the side off. Then bend back the black tabs that hold the black housing to the lens. And bake it. Toss the headlight in the oven and put it to 250 degrees. Take it out after ten minutes and try pulling apart starting by the inner turn signal. Then put it back in the oven for 5 more minutes and pull apart. It should come apart but you got to use some muscle to pull it apart.
Here's mine in the oven when I opened mine.
