how to take apart lighting?

I recently bought a coralife 36" hood. I tried to take it apart but it seems to have those screws that you cannot take off unless you break them. If anyone knows how to take this apart safely without breaking anything. please let me know. thank

My description of the hood: the hood houses 2x36" flour and 1x175w MH
It is black in color and 36" long with one fan at the end. has white reflection inside and a splash/uv guard. i hope someone will know what i am talking about. thanks again

You have to drill out the rivets.

Now that's a user friendly design! You can buy a rivet tool at any tool place to put it back together if you do decide to open it!

So, just to clarify i just have to take a drill to the rivets and then pop them out. Ok that sounds easy enough. Thanks for the adive. greatly appreciated.

Before you drill it what are you trying to do?
