I like where this is going!!!

For the tails, I'd recommend using BOTH a soldering iron with a bent knife edge tip and a dremel with a small cutting wheel to separate the chrome bezels from the housings. The only location I'd use the soldering iron is under the "beauty cover" plastic shield, which is a tight spot that you may not be able to fit a dremel in. The rest if the way around I'd use a dremel simply because the iron is messy, slow and dangerous because you can easily slip and melt unwanted areas inside the housing. Ask me how I know. Make sure you cut carefully and at good angles and consistent line as you go around the outside of the housing, keeping constant reference of where the bezel is inside because you need to allow enough clearance for it to slide out after you separate the lens from the housing. It's difficult because of the odd shape and angles of attack you have to patiently double check while you cut. Also sealing them back up well is critical. Use permatex black adhesive silicone sealant in a caulk gun liberally.
