^Exactly what it sounds like. Putting them in the oven to melt the glue that holds the lens on the housing.

Members will bake headhights to open them apart so they can put in LEDs, Halos, paint it black, etc. It's risky if you don't glue it back right. It will leak and water/condensation gets in. Bigger mess!!

Pretty much all the screws connected to the bumper, then start at the front of the wheel liner in the wheel well. Take our the first two or three working from bottom to top. After that, start to wiggle the bumper from one side or the other. You will see how it goes together. I wiggle it up and down gently and it will come off. Then work across the bumper. That should do it, some panels are right below the bumper that are black and you have to take those off too.

Good luck
