Default ?Tail light lens change

Anyone ever change out their lens? I got one with flames and it says to re-use the stock reflector by breaking the silicone seal and working it loose from the old lens. Maybe H-D has improved their silicone on the '06, because their isn't ANY way to break that seal on my tail light. [:@] I worked on it for a 1/2 hour. Even my sharpest knife won't make a dent. Anyone know if you can get the reflector without the lens? Anyone have any other tricks? I really like the lens and don't want to return it.

Default RE: ?Tail light lens change

Well, dealer says they don't sell the reflector separately. So, anyone have a 99-up broken tail light that still has a good reflector that they want to sell??? I could just break away the lens from the reflector that way. Hesitate to do that with my stock one in case I make a boo-boo!
