My kit is going to get color matched hopefully by the end of this upcoming week. The head light project was not difficult, but it takes patience. I had help form a good friend of mine as well.

You just have to heat it up real good, and then it will come apart. Also use a wide blade screwdriver, and pry slowly.

Worked on my tails just fine, twice so far and no warping. 200-250 degrees for 5-6 minutes, dunno if the time is the same for headlights but i would think so.
