Default Opening fog lights

Hey, I did a search and didnt see anything about the tc2 and opening fog lights. I'm just wondering if anyone has done this? I know you bake open the head lights, but with the fog lights being glass it makes them pretty fragile. Was looking for some suggestions

Same concept, your home oven won't damage the glass.

I did it already, tried to retrofit some projectors I took off from some aftermarket corolla headlights. I did the whole 210 deg. in the oven for 15min and when I went to pry them open The plastic started to crack along the seam. Dont do it....you will regret it.

That's what happened to me. So I decided to dremel out the lens around the plastic part and that worked well.

Same thing happened to me, I pretty much had to remove the plastic around the lens to pry the lens out. How did the retrofit turn out for you though?
