just don't keep the heat in one place, move it around... also i think that maximadriver.com has another guide to look at... its really simple but a pain... just keep moving hte heat around for as long as it takes... it may take a long time... and don't pull much just keep heating and you'll get it.

im from queens in NYC..when u rewire the corner lights it changes them from the 8W to the 27W..u kno in the pre 97-99 models, how when u turn the turn signal on the cornering light comes on...well when u rewire it, the cornering light stays on all da time, so itr brighter and goes better with the hyperwhite headlights..and as for the removing the glue from the tailights, u just gotta heat the black housing, not the lens,but the edge right btwn the lense and housing..
for like maybe 20 mins all around moving constantly, dont stay in one place or else u'll melt everything..and then try pulling the lense apart from the housing a bit maddd gently..it should be warm enuf to seperate, it should budge really gently, if it doesnt move at all easily...then keep heating...u'll feel it if it starts to seperate...then the rest is as follows in watever instructions u hav...any questions lemme kno
