That's the easiest part lol, hte hard part is getting the lense off the housing then second hardest is paint prep, If you do decide to do it make sure you get all the wires off the housing and keep the oven temp low I have done about 6 sets and I set my oven to 250 put it in for 10 min take it out and start prying open once it stops coming apart I put it in for another 10 minutes usually you can get the lense off by the second time but I have had to put a few in for the 3d time

yes "bake the lights open" consists of prying the lens off the headlights
