well, i tryed to take my headlights apart today, i baked them, and then tried, and still nothing, so i baked them a little longer, and still nothing. i baked those suckers until the plastic itself was almost flexible, and i still couldnt get them apart. i dont know what the hell its gonna take to undo the lights. it looks like the factory seal was just blasted on the lights cause it was oozing out of the pull tabs before i baked them. i couldnt even get my lights loose. is there some screws or something that im supposed to pull?

I did mine last night/this morning. I spent an hour getting the first one apart and another 30 minutes on the second one. I was very nervous about doing this. I'm glad I did. So far all is going well. The sealant is drying right now. I plan on putting them on tomorrow afternoon. I will post some picks. Kind of a pain but worth it.

who's oven did you use?
my Dad would never let me use his, and the girlfriend gave me a really dirty look when I mentioned baking headlights.
I think the ebay option was the easiest on my nerves and wallet.
