do i need to take a razor knife to the seal?

 

IIRC you put them in the oven glass side down for like 10-12 minutes @ 200 degrees. Then carefully pull it apart. Thats if I remember right. I used that method to take apart tail lights.

 

200-225 degrees for 10-15 minutes.. make sure u put a wet towel under the head light when u put it in the oven..

 

thank you both, gentlemen
F550....,sorry, but are you sure about towel placement?

 

i just did it 2 days ago and i put the headlights in the oven for about 8-9 minutes at 250 degrees and then make sure u get the top of the lens off first because after that u take a flathead and pry the sides and then the bottom comes off easily

 

I believe 250 degrees is kind of high, but then you would have to take it out sooner to avoid risk of melting the housing if kept in longer. I would keep it in the oven around 15-20 min at around 200 degrees using the wet towel method on a cookie sheet. This is the method I used when I cleared the turn signal lens in my HID's. The glue gets nice and gooey so you have plenty of time to pry apart the lens.

 

250 degrees is what it says on the how to's and it also says keep them in there for 10-15 minutes but i took mine out at like 8-9 minutes and it was perfect.....so im just sayin thats what i did and it worked .....

 

take off the metal clips, then pop that sucker in the oven. The glass lights can sit in there for awhile, but I always kept an eye on the plasitc ones.

 

i shall do this. thank you, gentleman,
