Perma seal headlights

I'm looking for a cheap set of Perma-seal headlights does anyone know any other headlights that are, I've found F30, E90 LCI halogen and Golf R are but these go for a lot of money

Or does anyone have a set of used, any condition cheap F30 headlights?

I'd like to practice opening some which aren't mine

Thanks

Do you mean headlamps which are glued together with a non-heat-sensitive glue?

Audi A4 (B5 facelift and B6) lamps made by Valeo have the permenant glue that requires serious brute force to get them open.

Many aftermarket versions however use a different adhesive that does soften with heat, so you need genuine ones.

What you planning on Doing?
I have e90 lci xenon and I'm planning on splitting them to install some dtm angel eye rings and maybe a new projector bowl, for better light cut off etc,
But biggest thing is getting them apart.
If I knew I could do it without breaking them I'd go for it but it's just the opening that's putting me off
I've had quotes for £300 which isn't bad really

This is a pretty decent write up for the mod on the A4, i presume the procedure should work equally well on the BMW lamps, but i've not personally tried it:
