And by not long i mean 3-4 minutes. i put my stock housings in the oven just last night @ 350 degrees for 3-5 minutes and everything was fine, the plastic was just a little hot, but not to the point where it will start deforming when you touch it. Just a tip, when you do begin to pry the housing appart get an old philips head screwdriver that you dont care about anymore (Or buy a cheap one) to start prying away the front from the back. Be gentle and dont pull away at an angle, you can break the inside of the housing. Try and pull in an even motion, constantly turn the light so it seperates evenly. Take your time too, you can always put the light back in the oven. All of this sounds easy but its going to take a little bit of muscle and alot of patience. Edit: Also put the housing on the largest cookie sheet covered in tinfoil. you dont need the light to cook, just to loosen up the silicone rubber < Message edited by Fenix -- 8/28/2007 12:54:03 PM > _____________________________ 04 EX 4cyl 5AT Coupe Fujita CAI Custom Heads & TYC Tails Apexi WS2 Cat Back Exhaust Front Grill Interior LED rods(7color) 20% Tint TSX Intake Manifold DC Ceramic Header Ralco Light Weight Pullies(In Hand) (in reply to y9pema) Post #: 5
