Good job! I had to do that to my Celica's headlights when i painted the inside of them. Honestly i think the hard part is getting the ***** to rip out your headlights and stick them in the oven. After that its relatively easy, just a bit time consuming.

Nice work, man Clean, very clean. And sure a lot easier (and faster) than the heat gun route

BTW, did you have a contingency plan if the oven thing didn't happen to work out?

And no Brian I didnt have any kind of real backup plan in case the oven thing failed or messed something up. Just kinda did it on a wing and a prayer.

It wasnt that easy to pry apart even after it was in the oven. That adhesive they used was some pretty strong stuff. If you would like to ship them to me to do just let me know and I will be glad to do it.
thanx for the info & appreciate the offer! i have to wait untill my mustang gets out of the shop(blown HG) so i have another vehicle to drive while the headlights are out.........thanx!
