You don't actually "break the plastic", the headlight is sealed by glue or silicone...what u do is heat the silicone or glue till it starts to melt and then take apart the headlights. It's actually alittle more complicated then just that...
Here's my cleared headlights.
And Blackshadow's

Its really hard to do...if you don't properly reseal the headlights, water vapor will get in and wreak havoc with your HIDs. StreetEffectz does it for 125 I believe...or you can just put a sticker over it...forgot who did that though

That "blue shadow" across blackshadows high beam is the reflection off his hyperwhite 9005 bulbs. That's what it looks like as the hyperwhite type bulbs are actually coated blue. It glows white when on..much whiter than stock bulbs.

That is not the reflection off the hyperwhite 9005 bulbs, if u look closely, he put a mini neon tube in this highbeam housing

It's extremely easy to do. The hardest part is getting the old silicone off. If you do that patiently then you will have no problem resealing it. I've done about 8 pairs including CL's, TL's and 02 TL's as well. Very simple and I'm the most mechanically handicapped person you will meet. I would help you since I'm in the nyc area, but I am currently up at school in upstate NY. If you would like any info, I can do this for a fee also, but mot looking to start a "business" Email if you need help or advice but like i said again..its relatively easy.
