Yes, saw that previously. Cool lights. I checked the company where he purchased the refelcors (I think - it's been a while) company to see if they could do mine like this, but they declined. Too old a model headlight.

I'll still wish you luck as some people have broken theirs using the oven to heat them. Either not enough heat and it split or too much and it melted. Seems to be a very fine line.

Most of the tuners out there are baking them for 3 min at 300 deg, the lights housing should be placed on oak blocks so the metal rack will not melt into them.

He did use a heat gun and screwdriver to split the silicon seal.
