Im blacking out my headlights and I can't get the green wire/yellow clip off in the first picture. And I can't get the big orange/green clip off on the second picture. how do I detach them? And in the third pic, I just wanted to ask if I got everything out that I need to. I know this may not be the right section, but its getting late and I want to finish this project by today. So mods please don't move it for now, I just need some answers first, thanks. The pics are below.

 

You started too late in the day.. It wont be done till tmrw night....

 

LOL. I started around 2, and Im sure if I could pry it open I can finish painting by tonight. That all I want to do for today. And I want it to dry all day tomorrow. So I need it painted and set for tomorrow.

 

Throw it in the oven now then.. It wont hurt for 5 mins.....

Test some wires b4 throwing it in there.....

 

yea I was just thinking about that. Maybe I should just unplug the bulbs and leave the wires in there, see if its ok. I vaguely recall someone leaving wires in the oven, but not sure.

 

LOL i got mad looking at my pathetic headlights, or my pathetic self, and I just pulled the orange/green plug and it popped out :] But I still need to get the green/yellow clip out :[

 

I used a blow dryer and heated a little at a time while prying a chopstick into the heated glue to pull the headlight apart. I didn't want to stick my headlights in the oven and isn't have to worry about anything getting ruined like the wires, etc.

 

Hey guys I got the thing unplugged. Will probably finish it up tomorrow.

 

get pics up when u finish.. I want to do this soon too

 

Might have to give up on this project. The headlights are not prying open at all. All ready tried a couple of times. I waited for the headlights and oven to cool now and im trying it over one last time.

 

I've never used the oven before so I can't comment on that process... But it shouldn't be too hard to get these open. Are u sure u took off ALL the screws around the headlight? Did you even try the blow dryer like I mentioned in my other post?

 

Im sure I took off all the screws. I left it in the oven at 250 for 8 to 9 minutes, took it out immediately and started prying it open. But it would barely open. Maybe I should have turned up the heat or left it in longer. I forgot to use the blow dryer, but didnt have access to one, so ill try next time.
