Some say not to use it but it sure helped us out a lot! Harley did get one of them open without using the oven so it can be done.Silverado said:Thanks man, would you recomend using the oven or not?
I don't see why not. It'll help IMOSilverado said:I think I'll just use the oven as a last resort, if all else fails. I'm just gonna take my time and be very patient.
Hmmm....I just thought of something its been over 100 degrees outside lately do you think i could just let them sit in the sun for awhile to loosen them up?
Thanks allot bro, I appreciate the offer to come help. I live in Hemet its like 20brock said:my suggestion: dont be scared... just give it hell... my headlights looked pretty mangled on the edges when i was done... but i just lined up the edges as well as i could... just use a lot of silicon, you dont want to miss a spot and re-do it like me... where are you at in CA? maybe i can come by and help you or soemthing...
Werd a good flathead will help or you can use a butterknife. It's better to take 2 butterknives/flatheads and stick one in and pry and leave it in and then take the other one and pry right bedside it and just keep going around until it pops open. Also take a razorblade and cut as much silicon out first to make it a little easier.Chaoss said:Just really take your time. I didn't use an oven myself. I just took the lights out, put a ver thin flat head and started to open it up carefully.
Also, when you take the yellow piece off, be sure you don't touch the inside of the headlight.
If you do you will get fingerprints on it. I then tried to clean it with windez and a cloth but then tiny white dust from the cloth was getting on it.
And yea, use enough silicon
