225

 

You can also use a heat gun. Even a hair dryer will work.

 

Yall, tonite on the Home cooking channel, were cooking headlights! Yes you heard us right, headlights. here are the preperations:
preheat oven to 325 degrees
Have some tools ready, flat head screw driver, and phillips.
Remove ALL light bulbs and rubber sealent covering the bulbs.

Now were ready for some homestylin cookin!

Once the oven is preheated, set that **** headlight in there for 7 minutes.
When its done, pull it out and use the flat head to pull up the tabs and then once thats done, oull that shiznit apart. then start unscrewing and remove the bulb corner and side marker.

put back together and reheat for 3 minutes. hold lamp together while it cools down to restick

repeat for other side

heres other guys desprictions:

Dont the healights fog up after you take them apart??? How do you ensure a good seal???

Wow, just don't let your mother or wife see you use the oven for that.

i guess it'll work, but I used a heat gun. and i know you can use a hair dryer.it may be a better idea since you get even coverage on the entire headlight, instead of slowly working your way around with the heat gun/hair dryer.

go for it, let us know how it turns out

 

i suggest you set the temp to 250 for about 7 minutes. i tried both already... 250 and 350. at 350 i kinda melted parts of the headlight but nothing noticeable.

 

I think it depends on your oven too?!?! I did my old set at 325 for 7 minutes, and I didnt get any damage. TO be safe, do it at 250 for 7, and if they dont come off, pop them back in! To ensure its resealed you can go by some more seal stuff (dont know name, sorry) and/or reheat it. thats what i did and I had no problems

 

thanks alot guys and I will let you know how it turns out
