Just cleared my headlights!
Ok finally got the nerve up to do this. It was a little scary with the thought of putting my headlights in the oven but its finally done. Took about 3 hours total which was much faster than I though it would go. Also if anyone wants this done to theirs I will do it for a small fee. Just send them to me and I will have them out back to you the next day. Thanks Conceyted for coming over and helping and thanks Farseide for the help over the phone and giving the final push to do this!
Here are the pics:
Heres the scary part:

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.
