Cliffnotes version:

- reseal

good luck!

Is putting it on a stove ment to melt the glue so you can pull the glass off or something? Sounds pretty risky to me even though it prolly works. What I would do it tape up all the glass or something, then pour boiling water on the gluey area to melt it. IMHO that's a better way, but do what suits you

ill do them for you incase you want them professionaly done

[LinX]

You can melt the plastic if you don't know what you're doing but many people have done it and it is not hard to find on this site let alone online. Soysauce is a good source to go to. ^^^^^^^

Maybe a heat gun?

[GHOST 2.2]

tools:
oven
pan
flat head
razor (optional)
wire hanger (optional)
high temp black paint
sealent
masking tape

-preheat oven to 225

-while your preheating the oven take out the bulbs, the boot assembly, metal clips that hold the housing and the plastic cover.

-put your headlights on a pan.... let it bake for about 7 minutes... 10 if the glue is not soft enough..

-take out the headlights

-pry open the clear plastic and the housing u can use your flat head for this but be gentle when using the flathead...you might damage the housing.

-pull off the chrome housing inside

- tape up the turn signal clear plastic attached to the chrome housing

(this is what i did for painting)

-got my wire hanger, make hooks on both ends of the hanger

-placed one end on top of something you can hang it to...and place the other end on one of the chrome housing holes on top.

-spray away....

-while your waiting for the paint to dry you can use your razor to take off the excess old sealent that came with the lights...

-now that your shit is dry put the black housing into the head light then use your sealent to replace the old sealent, put the headlight housing and clear plastic cover together put the clips back on, and everything else that you took off...you should be done.

if not just send it to me ill do it for you for 50 bucks. plus shipping
