2010 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Stornoway Grey

Cleaning LR front spotlights

Hi all,

I have a pair of the Land Rover front spots mounted to my A bar.

These are the OEM type with horizontal plastic grilles over the front, a bit like this:

When I got them one of the lights looked slightly dirty, although I ignored this. However, it now turns out that they leak slightly, letting dirt and condensation get inside the glass lens.

However, I can't work out how to get to the lens. Taking the lights apart only seems to give access to the rear of the reflector, and the front grille/lens appears stuck on.

Any tips? I'd like to remove the lens, clean them properly, then re-seal properly.

I haven't stripped them type but if they're like the safari 5000 type the lens and reflector will be bonded the only way I found to clean the 5000s was to take them apart remove the bulb and swill them out wilth warm soapy water, rinse with cold and allow to dry.
