I've heard folks sit them in their oven (at low temps) to melt the glue and pull it apart; Do at your own risk (and it stinks).
Not to Hi-Jack the thread, but... Anyone know the purpose of that little window on top of the headlight ? Folks put those 'eyelid' things that cover it up. Always thought they're there since the car is so low, but sure that's NOT it.

I heard about the oven for the C6 lights but It's different for the C7. I didn't think they made a replacement lens but you never know there is always someone
with after market stuff. I don't think that light cost any more to make then say a Malibu but it's a Corvette so bend over.

Have not seen any vendor offering a replacement for the C7 headlight lens. Perhaps some day one will step up.

I think it was early 2018 that I saw vendors just starting to offer C6 headlight replacements - 5 years after the end of the C6 run. So it could be a while yet before vendors see enough demand to offer them for the C7. There were vendors offering just the lens before that, but you had to do the shake n bake oven routine to replace the lens on your existing housing.
