Has anyone cut the lens off from a sealed beam headlight?

Looks like an interesting project with a chance of shattering some glass as noted above. Depending on your desired result, consider this: The beam pattern is determined by the bulb, the reflector, and the lens. The T3 lens fluting is different than the fluting on an E-code H4 headlamp, so the beam pattern will be altered. No telling what the end result will be. If you go ahead with this, will you post before & after pics? Good luck, it'll be interesting to see how it turns out!
