Does anyone know how to disassemble 02/03 Altezza tail lights

Just got some 2002 2003 headlights but I want to modify the housings and the lens. I was under the false impression that you could disassemble the taillights the way you disassemble the headlights however, I was wrong. So if anyone knows if their some who has done a write up on this subject or even is willing to do a drop (ship in/out) service please kick me some info it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

a couple people have done it successfully with a heat gun, but I hear it's pretty difficult...Most people assumed at first that it couldn't be done and had to be dremeled but there are a few (iirc dr. roy and metal maxima) that got them apart safely

how come you're thinking about taking them apart? project?
