Default How do I take apart my headlight housing?

How do I seperate the outer part of the headlight housing on my 98 tiburon? I removed the clips and tried prying it apart but no luck...is there another way to do this?

Don't bake it in an oven, use a hairdryer or heat gun around the seams, pry slowly working your way around.

I don't know that anyone makes them for the 97 elantra. But try www.driverfx.com they have GTS headlight and taillight covers, and they may have your application.
