hehe, no you heat it up in the oven to get the adhesive that holds the headlight assembly together more supple, this way you can pry the assembly apart & remove the amber reflector. then stick it back together & hope it seals up good enough!

WOW that is a great job! Now, did you cook the headlight with the light bulbs in it? Because from the pictures, it looks like the light bulbs are still within the head light?
I'm planning to clear it this weekend as well, but trying to debate whether to use oven or the heat gun? I will also paint part of them black and insert the new Ares Clear stripe as well.

Welcome to the clean headlight club

Now all you have to do is pass the no condensation test... good luck...

I took out the HID's out but left the rest of the bulbs in. I would use the oven over a heat gun just because its much easier and its one constant temp over the whole thing.

hmmmm.. that makes sense! I think I might try the oven method too! Now I think about it, if I use the heat gun and by the time I heat up all the area, but one side end up cooling down while I try to pry it open, that would be not good! and for some reason, I've already got condensation build up in the headlight already, so it's actually a good time for me to take them apart to clean them anyway!
