How to take apart a 95-96 foglight?

Hi guys,

I just bought a used foglight, but some of the silver lining has come off inside and is just floating around inside. I want to repair it.

Does anyone know how to take it apart? I only see 1 screw on it, and it got me nowhere turning it. Is this one of those "put-it-in-the-oven-and-pull-it-apart" deals?

Thanks in advance!

A few people have baked these and took them apart, but since these are glass, I used a dremel and just cut the lense off with about 1/2" of the housing attached, made my mods , then jb welded it back together

I baked them the first time tried to pry them apart with a flat head. DIdnt work! I tried like 2 more times putting in the oven and i got it apart. You will screw up the plastic housing but its not visible once back on the car. I did this for the lexus yellow fog capsules.

I've been having such a hard time finding a simple stock fog light replacement for my 95 maxima. i keep getting high def, or non-stock ones, and the stock ones i see are only available for 97-99

does anyone know a good site where i can buy a new stock fog light for a 95?

OH and, if there is a good simple thread with replacement instructions, i have searched but found nothing
