I'd use a heat gun instead. Doesn't leave the yellow tint on the headlight. Can rent it in a nearby shop if available. But that's just my preference. First baked a pair on my acura to fit halos or what not and though the housing and the lighting came out perfect the light itself had a yellowish tint after rebaking to clamp it back up. Followed as instructed so not sure if it was my oven...

Let me know how it turns out fellas hope my input helped. Also just to add be careful not to break the clips. I used a regular flat head to pull the housing apart from the lenses. As far as putting it back together just same concept make sure to warm that stuff up and smoosh it together real tight (another project on my coupe wasn't sealed properly and suffered condensation. So I'd say buy extra just in case.
All the sets I've done in the past not one has ever turned yellow from baking them. Knock on wood 
Heat gun works too just dont leave it in ones spot for too long
I was going to add the details to the headlight painting DIY but there is no more room available in the original post

Note that the 05/06 sedans you can use any 2.5" projector lense. You can pick up a set of "Value" (see options on the site) clear lenses from the following link for $20.

03/04 sedans need a smaller lense. Around 2". There use to be an ebay seller but I can't find them anymore
I'll keep looking though
I used a dremel spiral cutting bit to remove most of the orange turn signal lense. I then used a sanding wheel bit to sand down the rest of the lense. Then sanded the circle by hand to smooth out the raised edge more (400 grit works well)
After I painted everything up and put the lense in place, I used a thin bead of clear silicone to glue the lense in place. Do this from inside the turn signal house all along the outside edge. I suggest letting the silicone dry overnight.
Hope it helps, PM if if you have any questions

Headlights. It's what's for dinner.
