Getting headlights apart
-
i did this a few weeks ago, worked out fine.
I was told it would only take 7 or 8 mins in the oven at a very low temp. to make the bond pliable enough to seperate the lense from the housing but it actually took about 12 or so at about 110 degrees celsius.
worked perfectly in the end. i didnt even need other bond cause i just heated up both parts again and squished them together!!
been a few weeks and still working perfectly, pics to follow

ok guys I want to paint the inside of my glass headlamps black… does anyone have pics of this?
also I've read in here to bake them in the oven? is this the only way to get them apart? what about a hairdryer?
thanks

i had to split one of mine a few months back as had a crack in one. however as theis crack was right down it was easy to do. and the one that glass was taken out of was no go either. following that heat gun is good. and hair…. onces apart to reheat the old sealent is simple hot knife or same... jus open from the widest part to the point. there are loads of how to guides on the net.
