You know what its not that really bad as you think it is, the first time i did them, my boy did them for me and I was scared as hell but last weekend I said f**k it and did them myself baked them apart and cleaned the inside up a bit with no help or anything, so really its not that bad just follow directions and youll be ok.

yea my first time I didnt create a good seal putting them back together which caused a little bit of haze, and then i baked them apart again (once you do it once the second time is easier to come apart) I made sure there was a good seal, now my headlight lense look brand new.

i wish i had the courage to do this... its really not as easy as everybody make em out to be... srry, ask squirell82 and he does body work and painting... ask Datdude20.... when u find urself needing to spend that $600 on some other headlights u'll see... +1 to blackilla and others who are comfortable, but to all that is afraid, trust me, you have a reason to be

Wat can u f up on?^ If you follow the instructions you should be fine. I think it's the rest of the people who let fear mess them up which causes them to mess up. Apparently if you do it the exact way the write up says, you should be fine.

Good job man! Mine def didn't come out as clean as urs.
Put for those who ask keep the temp at 200 or below for 10-12 minutes until glue loosings make sure your remove all bulbs and screws before putting in the oven. than pry the lights apart from the tabs and repeat the step to put back 2gether
