I can't get my lenses off. I took out all screws and heated them at 200 for 7 minutes. But my tabs have so much glue and don't really allow the lens to move (pry them and they slide back over the bump in the lens). I was afraid of damaging the headlight so i gave up for today. Is their something i did wrong. I have an 05 sedan with HID lamps.

Is anyone in vegas and could help me haha i would pay in beer

i jus did this again last night with my brother on 06 projectors i just got. heat the oven to 220 and leave in there for 7 mins like OP suggested. but i learned its better to bake it once, take it out and get a butter knife and slide them through the entire seal to "break it". do it on the tabs too. after that throw them in the oven again and second time around u should be able to pull it apart. start at the bottom corner. doing that it so much easier than trying do it all in the first try cus the seal will start to dry by the time u get to the prying part. easier if u have a friend to hold the lights for you.

Sounds like your not getting it quite hot enough. Bump it up to 10 mins

They don't just pull apart easy. You need to give it some muscle. If you saw them lifting away from the tabs, you just needed to pull a little harder to get them to come apart. Once it starts to open they come apart easy. It's just that initial pull you have to get for it to start lifting off
