Attempted to paint my lights yesterday. 200 degrees didn't losen the adhesive enough, is 220 the highest recommended temp? I felt like I was just damaging the housing trying to pry it apart, once adequately heated should it come apart rather easily? Will most likely attempt again today or tomorrow after work :fingerscrossed:
Loving the completed pics!!

I left it in for 7mins first, then put it back in the oven for ~10.
Cool, thanks man. I'll try that. It just felt like it was requiring way too much strength.
I need to double check and make sure I didn't put it in first with the HID ballast still attached , I'm apparently a tad impatient.

I'm going to b doing this mod at a friend's work over the weekend. And we won't have access to an oven or even be close to one. We have access to a heat gun, would this make the taking apart the seal of the headlight harder or easier?
Easier to damage or harder to pry apart etc? Any info much appreciated!

I have used the heat gun twice and imo its more easier. Good luck.
