Just an update...
I managed to disassemble the entire spare headlight housing successfully without breaking any tabs and what not. Basically used a large steel bowl and submersed 1/2 the entire light housing while bringing the water to a boil. Took about 15-20 minutes before water starts showing signs of tiny boiling. Mean time I take a flat-head screwdriver and pry between the seems where the poly lens and the shell are joined. There is a gum-like glue that gets soft when the water is pretty hot. I let one 1/2 remain submerged and about 15 minutes I rotate the other 1/2 under the boiling water. Again, I pry with a screwdriver around the seams and you can see that the glue starts to soften. I upward til I can't go any higher with the tool. So, I use a spoon which helps pry it higher. The lens slowly pulls away and you work yourself all around, while keeping 1/2 the light under the water. The lens will start to pull away as the glue is softened. Here's some pics:

Here's the break down of the assembly.
I can imagine anyone wanting to paint this part to match their VX.
Here's a couple of possible areas to install a projector light. Anywhere else, there isn't too much room.
