no offense but "google" can be your best friend in this case. I myself already know the method, but i found links like this and others in about 5mins http://hometown.aol.com/seanmcelligott/

 

some people just don't read the question.....i said OVEN METHOD NOT THE BREAK WITH THE SCREW DRIVER METHOD thank you...

 

the link in my last post shows the basic concept of the "oven" method.

 

thanks for the info duey....

 

moved....not a power hungry topic....

 

i used the hammer method... just cause the oven method seems a lil risky, i heard about people who havent sealed them back up the right way and now have foggy headlights. is there something that turns you off from the smash hammer method? its rather easy and has the same results... there is a pesky little piece i am still trying to take out but im saving that for when i get my chromed amber lights in...

 

Take the headlights off, put them in the oven for 5 minutes at 250. Pry the assembly open with a couple of flat head screwdrivers and a friend. Remove reflector. Reassemble headlight, put in oven with lens up for another 5 minutes. When you take them out of the oven, press the lens on to ensure seal. Put headlights back on car. Done.

It helps to wear thick gloves after you take the headlight out of the oven.

 

hmm think i'll try the hammer and screw driver,the reason i ask about the oven is that some of the broken glass is hard to get out and it also leave scratches...

 

the lil pieces easily come out if u know the way . lol. scratches only occur if yer screwdriver slips.

 

i have used the hammer method on mine... i still have a few small peices of orange plastic that didnt break out right, it wedged in the side.. i dont know waht i am going to do... i dont know if i am confident with the oven method.... has anyone else had problems completly removing the orange reflector with the hammer method? id really like to know how to finish the job...

 

use a miniature bent nose pliers or a coat hangar
