When you return from your trip the quicker you remove the head lamp adaptors the easier it will be. Don’t forget that the glass or Perspex lens will get warm, so the longer you leave them on the tougher it will be to remove them.

When taking them off it’s a good tip to put your headlights on for a few minutes first to warm them and then peel them off.

If they are stuck fast then you can use neat screen wash or mentholated spirits to help remove them. If you have an ice scrapper or screen wiper, use the rubber side to gently give the headlamp adaptors a gently prod to get them to peel up. Once you’ve got them to lift up it’s easy to get them off.
